Our Lady of Mercy’s Stations of the Cross show the true meaning of Easter By DON RUTLEDGE FPS Staff Writer
Easter will be celebrated differently this year since there will be no traditional person-to-person contact at area churches Sunday, April 11. The Free Press Standard has compiled information on the 14 Stations of the Cross, hopefully to enhance the true meaning of Lent leading to the crucifixion of Christ and his rising from the dead. Accompanying this article are photos of the 14 Stations of the Cross that adorn the walls of Our Lady of Mercy Catholic Church in Carrollton. Subject material was gratefully provided by Janet Smith, a church member, and Fr. Jonas Shell, the church pastor. The beautiful stations are around 100
years old and were bought in November of 2017 by Our Lady of Mercy from Adrian Hamers, Inc. who specializes in providing reclaimed church items. The stations were made by the Daprato Statuary Company, which was founded in 1860 in Chicago, IL. It was founded by the four Deprato brothers, American immigrants from the Tuscan town of Barga, Italy. Their entire town consisted of statue makers. But the brothers had the idea to move to America, furnish and sell statues in a new land. In 1881, John E. Rigali, the great-grandfather of the firm, immigrated to Chicago and began working with the Daprato brothers after completing his art training with the well– known instructor Maestro Colognieri of Florence. By 1884, Rigali became a partner,
and ultimately in 1890, president of Daprato Statuary Company. Thus the name, Daprato Rigali Statuary Company. As a building fundraiser, each station was sponsored by members of Our Lady of Mercy congregation, as were the other parts and appointments in the church. The 14 Stations of the Cross, with pedestals and carved wood crosses, were made in the 1920s. It was one of the Daprato Rigali Statuary Company’s first line of plaster statues. In January of 2017, Teresa Prince, an artist from New Philadelphia, refurbished and repainted the statues for the church. The original inscriptions were in-

Carrollton mayor declares village state of emergency By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent
Pilate condemns Jesus to die Through her heart, His sorrow sharing All His bitter anguish bearing Now at length the sword has passed Let me share your grief divine
Jesus accepts His cross O, how sad and sore distressed Was that Mother highly blessed Of the sole Begotten One
Carrollton Mayor William Stoneman declared Friday, April 3, a declaration of a state of emergency for the Village of Carrollton. The emergency is based on the recommendation of the Ohio Department of Health and the Center for Disease Control and Prevention due to the COVID-19 virus. The measure calls for all residents to comply with all laws and emergency
Jesus falls the first time Christ above in torment hangs, She beneath beholds the pangs Of her dying, glorious Son
measures as they are issued. Protecting the citizens is of the utmost importance, according to Stoneman. By issuing the declaration, this step will also permit the village to apply for private, state and federal grants, loans or other forms of assistance. Village Administrator Mark Wells said that village council will only hold one meeting in the month of April, on the 13th, at 7 p.m. in village hall. Council members and officials will be seated throughout the council chambers to maintain the six feet protective distance.
Commissioners receive COVID-19 update By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent On Thursday, April 2, Director of Nursing for the Carroll County Health District Kelly Engelhart updated the Board of Commissioners about the COVID-19 virus in the county. Engelhart reported that at that time there were five confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the county. Three cases are in Harrison Township, one case in Rose Township and one case in Center Township. “Two cases are back home and recovering. The other three cases are still being treated in a hospital,” stated Engelhart. People who have been in contact with those five people have been contacted and are being monitored. Engelhart said that testing is being emphasized for hospitalized patients, and for health care workers, patients in long-term care facilities and first responders who are symptomatic. Engelhart said that testing guidelines with the Ohio Department of Health have been changed and that testing will now be done 24/7. The state has advised that all testing is to be sent to the Ohio Department of Health and not to third party vendors. County Health Department office administrator Amy Campbell told commissioners that the county recently received three shipments of personal protective equipment (PPE) from the Strategic National Stockpile (SNS) but have a limited supply. She said that the
health department is working daily with local healthcare providers, longterm care facilities, EMS, law enforcement and fire departments to make sure they have the necessary PPE they need. Emergency Management Agency Director Tom Cottis stated that the county has not received enough PPE for healthcare workers and first responders. Buckeye Career Center has donated PPE to the Carroll County health department. Commissioners will send a letter of acknowledgement and appreciation to Buckeye Career Center. Cottis also reported that he has sent 18 requests to the State of Ohio for supplies and was told that unless the county was out of supplies, none would be sent. Cottis also presented an update on the recent rainfall in the county. Cottis said that March had one of the highest rainfalls on record. The exact amount has not been officially released yet. “The county is still in a wet weather pattern. We had back to back two inch rainfalls in a short amount of time, which is hard for the ground to absorb,” said Cottis. Due to the heavily saturated ground, a tree fell on a home in Perry Township. No one was injured. Commissioners held two executive sessions on Thursday, April 2. The first was to consider the compensation of a public employee or official with no action taken. The second session was to consider the purchase or sale of real estate. Upon returning to session, commissioners moved and agreed to sell a portion of
land near the county landfill to generate income and reduce expenses. In other business commissioners: - ADVISED residents who are seeking current information on COVID-19, can access the county health department through the county’s website: www.carrollcountyohio.us. - HEARD that a public hearing in the process of establishing airport zoning, will be held after the governor’s stay-athome order has been lifted. - APPROVED the March report for the Golden Age Retreat with nine males and 30 females in residence. - ACCEPTED the March jail report from Sheriff Dale Williams with 1,313 meals served and 140 washings completed. - SIGNED a proclamation designating April as Fair Housing Month. - RECEIVED the dog pound report for March 22-28 with two impounded, none adopted out, none redeemed, none destroyed and no citations issued. At the April 6 meeting, commissioners: - OPENED bids for the 2020 resurfacing projects. The bids were tabled until April 16, as recommended by County Engineer Brian Wise. - ANNOUNCED that bids for Addendum No. 1 for telephone and internet services will be opened on April 20 at 9:30 a.m. - RECEIVED the dog pound report for March 29- April 4 with seven impounded, none adopted out, two redeemed, none destroyed, and no citations issued for running at large or for having no license.

Appeals court affirms judgement regarding royalty payments The Seventh District Court of Appeals has affirmed a Carroll County Common Pleas Court judgment in a civil appeal filed by Gateway Royalty of Amarillo, TX, from a 2019 summary judgment granted by Judge Linton D. Lewis in favor of the defendant’s appellees, Chesapeake Exploration, LLC (CELLC) of Columbus, et al. The appeal was filed on Gateway’s claim for breach of contract alleging underpayment of oil and gas royalties involving their ownership in six leases at issue. In a 12-page opinion written by Appeals Court Judge Gene Donofrio, the Appellate Court ruled that a summary judgment by Judge Lewis was proper, finding that CELLC did not breach the Eric Petroleum leases in calculating royalty payments to Gateway.

es, was filed Dec. 28, 2017, by Gateway Royalty, LLC. In the complaint, the plaintiff (Gateway) sought judgment in its favor against defendant Chesapeake Exploration, Chesapeake Operating, for violation of the Ohio Corrupt Act and the reward of compensatory damages (no amount listed), regarding an alleged underpayment of monthly royalties due plaintiff on the oil, gas and mineral gas liquids produced under 12 oil and gas leases in Ohio, most of which included leases to real property in Carroll County. The Appeals Court noted in their affirmation that the trial court found that while Gateway sought to receive royalty payments based on the downstream sales price paid to Chesapeake Energy Marketing, LLC, which was not what was specified in the Eric Petroleum leases. Instead, the royalty payment is based on the price paid to Chesapeake Exploration at the wellhead, Judge Lewis wrote in his summary judgment.

County departments react to pandemic By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent Carroll County Leadership Committee met via a phone conference on March 18 to discuss how the COVID-19 pandemic would affect their departments. Common Pleas Court Judge Michael Repella advised that his office has changed all possible hearings to phone calls, cancelled all trials through April 17 and eliminated in-court hearings. Parole officers are meeting only with violent offenders. Municipal Court Judge Gary Willen said for the next three or four weeks, his court will push hearings back to June and will conduct as many hearings as possible by phone. Willen will continue to do arraignments for the jail every day. Probate Court Judge John Campbell said he has postponed as many hearings as possible and pre-trials will be re-scheduled as telephone conferences. Continuing education classes for guardians have been cancelled. Marriage licenses will be issued, but applicants will have to read the information from the counter to clerks at their desks. Youth community service work groups have been cancelled. Some home visits for kids and face-to-face meetings have been rescheduled as phone calls. Auditor Lynn Fairclough said the doors to her departments are locked. The public and employees from other departments must knock and her staff will take needed documents to the door. The office is still doing deeds while the customer waits in the hallway. Fairclough said she is rotating staff in the three
departments in her office. Online inquiries and phone calls are normal but foot traffic has really slowed down. Clerk of Courts Bill Wohlwend said his office traffic has slowed considerably since Judge Repella has scaled back on daily court activities. Wohlwend said he is receiving some customers from Tuscarawas County since their office closed last week. Wohlwend said he does not believe he can close the title office unless the BMV tells him to do it. Deputy Surveyor Rod Yoder from the county map office said that foot traffic has been reduced significantly and he has curtailed the public access to the back office. Deputy Director Nicole Mickley advised that the board of elections is required to remain open from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. since they are passing out applications for absentee ballots. Ballots are still arriving in the mail and a Republican and a Democrat must be in the office to receive them. The office is checking temperatures and documenting symptoms. Director of Job & Family Services Kate Offenberger said they have made numerous changes regarding face-to-face contact. Information is posted on their Facebook page. Child welfare and adult protective staff are mobile with their working surfaces and are working from home for now. Ohio Means Jobs is open with public access restricted to the lobby. Offenberger plans on splitting the staff and temperatures are being taken. More information will be made available as it becomes available. Child Support Director & Supervisor of Fiscal Operations Shelley Martin told the com-
mittee that payments are still accepted at the office window between customers and the clerks. By order of the Office of Child Support, they are only doing the critical services that are necessary. Online and alternate payments are being recommended. County Prosecutor Steven Barnett said the foot traffic in his office has been reduced. His office will remain open since they have to be available for criminal charges and for the courts. Health Department Office Administrator Amy Campbell said that most nursing services have been cancelled. Environmental services are still being conducted. County Engineer Brian Wise said he has closed his lobby and they have established a dropbox to hand off permits and delivery tickets. Work hours have been staggered with part of the crew starting at 7 and part at 7:30 a.m. They have enough room in the office that distancing is not an issue. They are taking temperatures too. County Treasurer Jeff Yeager advised that he has closed the outside walk up window since it is a very small area. There is an outdoor drop box that people can use. Golden Age Retreat Superintendent Dawn Faulk said that visitors have not been allowed since March 10. All activities and appointments have been cancelled. Preparations have been made to isolate patients if necessary. There are supplies of food on hand for up to three months. Senior Citizens Friendship Center Director Tonya Myers said they are also doing daily temperatures and their building is closed too. Meals are still being home delivered and some

Doris R. Chiurco 1931-2020 Our Mom, at the age of 88, of Malvern, Ohio, passed away Wednesday, April 1, 2020 surrounded physically and spiritually by her loved ones. She was born May 2, 1931 in Canton, Ohio to the late John and Rosa (Hershey) Klotz. She graduated from Malvern High School in 1949. She was a member of Malvern’s St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church and the Catholic Women’s Club. Throughout her life, she worked at Union Metal in Canton, Dairy Queen, Woods’ Grocery and Adams’ Nursery, all in Malvern. Our Mom was an exceptional woman. We knew it early on. She was an endearing wife to our Dad, “Racky” for 41 years. She was an unconditionally loving and supportive mother to us. She was very open-minded for a woman her age; was non-judgmental in easy-to-criticize situations. Her support, whether it was offered to you verbally or written, was not only during troubled times, but at times of joy. When you received a letter or card from our Mom, she inspired you and assured you what was bothering you would pass, or she celebrated your triumph. Her smiling positivity brightened wherever she was. She was a hardworking homemaker who possessed exceptional baking skills. If you were lucky enough to receive her famous Sugar Twists, you know what we mean. A compassionate caregiver to loved ones, be it a friend or relative. She was a great neighbor and friend whose never-empty coffee pot and fresh baked goods were comforting during long conversations. It was very gratifying to her in recent years when friends recounted memories of her cozy, little house of fifty years, so pretty in its style, which welcomed all with warm hospitality. Although she is gone, she’ll never be forgotten. We love you, Mom and miss you dearly. She is preceded in death by her husband, Richard “Racky” Chiurco; two sisters, Betty (Bill) Dominick, and toddler sister, Marilyn; three brothers, Marion (Nora) Klotz, Donald Klotz, and an infant brother, Leroy; and her Godson, Roger Dominick. She is survived by her five children, Michael (Rhonda) Chiurco of Malvern, Frank (Bonnie) Chiurco of Carrollton, Diana Yost of Malvern, Joni (Kyle) Somers of Aurora, CO, and John Chiurco of Malvern; in addition, their ten adult grandchildren, Nathan Chiurco, Matt (Heidi) Chiurco, Kara (Dave) Prater, Jeff (Jess) Yost, Chris (Kaci) Yost, Ashley (Justin) Zimmerman, Karli Somers, Lindsey Somers, Anthony (Paige) Chiurco, and Dominic (Beth) Chiurco; and eight great-grandchildren, Cason and Cobin Chiurco, Ethan Grossi, Alexis and Brooklyn Yost, Peyton and Carter Zimmerman, and Kenley Prater; her siblings, brother, Glen (Sharon) Klotz, and sisters, Elsie (Bob, deceased) Borland, Carol (Clarence) Grindstaff, Darlene (Jim) Steffey, and Barbara (Jim) Franks; also, her beloved nieces and nephews, cherished friends & neighbors and children & grandchildren of friends who enriched her life. Because of what is happening in our world, sadly, services will not take place. Cremation has occurred. A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date. Those wishing to send condolences may sign the online register at www.gotschallfuneralhome.com. The family offers special thanks to Dr. David Kimbell, Area Agency of Aging 9 in Cambridge and the Carroll County Job & Family Services, Ember Home Care in Uhrichsville, Community Hospice doctors, nurses, and aides in New Philadelphia for their specialized care over the past year. All services were immeasurable blessings to the lives of Doris and her family. Memorial contributions may be made to Malvern Historical Society, P.O. Box 80, Malvern 44644 or to Community Hospice, 716 Commercial Ave. SW, New Philadelphia, OH 44663.

Mary Elizabeth Barnhouse McLaughlin Mary Elizabeth Barnhouse McLaughlin, 82, of North Canton, passed away Wednesday, April 1, 2020, in Carroll Golden Age Retreat Nursing Home. She was born Oct. 27, 1937 to the late Ralph and Pearl (Butterfield) Barnhouse. On Feb. 19, 1954, she married Carl “Butch” McLaughlin. Mary was a loving mother and homemaker to the couple’s three children, Chris, Doug and Steve. Once the boys were raised they moved to The Villages in Florida.

Douglas P. James Douglas P. James, 56, of East Canton, passed away unexpectedly in his sleep Saturday night, April 4, 2020. Born in 1964, he was the son of Shirley and Charles James. Growing up, he developed a love for cars and anything that went fast. That passion transitioned into vocational education in automotive repair, which led to an early career in that same field. Over time, he had many automotive-related jobs and eventually found his way to the oil field as a well tender. Known for a great sense of humor and being silly almost any time the chance came along, he knew how to make people laugh. Doug was always willing to lend a helping hand, whether you were family or friend. He was both kind and determined, and was always willing to push forward and not give up. These endearing qualities have impacted and inspired his family, friends and especially his son. He will be greatly missed by everyone in his life and his impacts will live on for a lifetime. Doug is survived by his father, Charles James; a brother, Dennis James; son, Tyler James (Caitlyn); daughter, Kasey (Matthew) Philpott; girlfriend, Rhonda; and four grandchildren. He is preceded in death by his mother, Shirley James. In the interest of public health, a private service was held. The family is planning a larger memorial service to be held later in the summer. Dodds Funeral Home assisted the family with arrangements.

Thursday, April 9, 2020
There is a lot of debate about assembling together in church during this pandemic. Question: Should we follow what the government has told us - no more than 10 - or should we go ahead and assemble? Answer: Our first obligation is to obey God’s Word. John 15:10 - If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love. Jesus is our example. “I have kept my Father’s commandments.” We are to obey God’s Word. John 6:38 - For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me. Jesus said “I have come to obey God’s word.” Doing God’s will is to obey his word. It’s important to understand that Jesus also obeyed man. Luke 2:51-52 - And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject unto them: but his mother kept all these sayings in her heart. And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man. Even though Jesus is God in flesh, he submitted to his parents and to man’s authority. John 19:10-11 - Then saith Pilate unto him, Speakest thou not unto me? knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and have power to release thee? Jesus answered, Thou couldest have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from above: therefore he that delivereth me unto thee hath the greater sin. Jesus corrects Pilate and tells him “the authority you have to punish or set free came from God.” God gave man the authority to create the law of the land. So we are to obey God’s Word and we are to obey civil law. Romans 13:1-4 - Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same: For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God,

Pastor’s Pen
a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil. Higher powers means government authority. God gave the power to government. When we disobey the government, we are disobeying God who gave the authority. The government is in place to keep order. If we obey government, we will not be afraid of punishment. Sword means to punish by force those that disobey the government. Jesus obeyed God’s Word - Jesus obeyed government authority. I Peter 2:13-15 - Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme; Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well. For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men. “Submit” means obey. “Every ordinance of man” means all human government. “King, as supreme” refers to the head of government, (President, leaders). “Governors” in verse 14 means the chain of command, and “punishment” means to take revenge on evil doers that break the law. In verse 15, “so is the will of God” - it’s God’s will for believers to submit to human authority. “Silence the ignorance of foolish men” means to silence the criticism of foolish men, (unbelievers). We, as saints of God, are to follow the Word of God and the Law of the Land. What would an unbeliever think if we drove 75 mph in a 55 mph zone? That we don’t have to obey the law because we are Christians? We should be setting the example for unbelievers. Q: Is there a time when we do not obey human government? A: Yes, when it contradicts God’s Word. For example, we must stand against abortion, murder, etc. The argument being used to assemble in spite of civil law is that civil law is trying to stop us from preaching the gospel; that our right to minister is being hindered. Acts 5:28-29 - Saying, Did not we straitly command you that ye should not teach in this name? and, behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and intend to bring this man’s blood upon us. Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men. The council had told the apos-
tles “Do not teach in Jesus name” - Simon Peter said, “We are going to obey God, not man.” Acts 5:42 - And daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ. They continued to teach and preach Jesus after being warned to stop. The difference today is that we have not been told by civil law/government to stop preaching and teaching the Jesus Name Message. The government is trying to save lives, not destroy life. Today we have Facebook and other avenues to minister the Word until this virus passes. We can still teach Bible studies in small groups; we can still baptize in Jesus Name; we can still have virtual church. Our government has not interfered with any of these things. I believe we will be assembled again when this virus passes. Psalm 101:1-3 is a psalm of David, who is talking about his walk with God inside his home: I will sing of mercy and judgment: unto thee, O Lord, will I sing. I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way. O when wilt thou come unto me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart. I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me. This is a time for personal inventory of our soul. Who you are at home is who you really are! God’s will for us is to be the same at home as we are in church. We need to sing, to worship the Lord in our home. We need to behave ourselves in our homes, not set wicked things before our eyes. If we change our behavior in our homes, we will have victory when we assemble together. Philippians 2:12 - Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. Paul said “You always obeyed in my presence, now in my absence, keep working on your salvation.” Keep on working on your walk with Jesus! Until we assemble again.

Five individuals, one team to be inducted into CHS Athletic HOF Five individuals will join the 195455 boys basketball team as the 2020 class of the Carrollton High School Athletic Hall of Fame. Brad Roudebush (class of 2003), Tim Hepner (2004), Jamie Reed (1977), Pat Herron (1967) and Ray Metz (coach, deceased) make up the list of individuals. Hall of Fame Weekend is scheduled Sept. 4 and 5. The inductees will be recognized during halftime of the Carrollton vs. Akron Coventry football game Sept. 4. The breakfast and induction ceremony will be held Sept. 5 beginning at 9 a.m. in the high school commons. Tickets are $15 per person. To reserve tickets, contact Mark Spears at 330-324-1254. The 1954-55 team posted a 17-3
record, set the school record for points per game and won three tournament games. They won the ECOL championship. Team members included David Donaldson, Frank Boggs, Wayne Jones, Jim McElroy, William Sloan, Bill Henninger, Jack Lumley, Charles McCully, Frank McCully, Dick Hiler, Lynn Markley, Kenneth Neely, Bob Dusenberry and Laurel Van Harten. The team was coached by Myron Burt, who compiled a 48-34 record in four years at the helm of the Warriors (1953-56). The team was nominated by Frank McCully. Brad Roudebush was a four-year cross country letter winner and threetime state qualifier in Division I under
Coach Kevin Spears. He was a fourtime first-team Northeastern Buckeye Conference (NBC) runner. Roudebush won four varsity track letters and was a two-time first-team NBC pick under Coach Dave Wells. Roudebush was nominated by Pete Husted. Tim Hepner was the NBC golfer of the year (league MVP) his senior year and a first-team NBC selection in 2002 and 2003 as well as the team’s MVP both years. He was a secondteam NBC pick in 2000 and 2001 and was a member of the 2001 team that qualified for the district tournament. Hepner was nominated by Curt Hensley and Dave Wells. Jamie Reed played football two years and wrestled all four years of his high
school career, earning varsity letters each year in each sport. He was the first three-time state wrestling qualifier in school history and a three-time Senate League champion. He was the team’s MVP in 1976. On the gridiron, Reed was a lineman on the offensive and defensive lines. Reed was nominated by Rick Tschantz and Ann Lloyd. Patrick Herron was a three-sport athlete at CHS, playing football for Coach Don McBride, basketball for Coach Dick King and baseball for Coach Manfull. He was a co-captain of the football team, the team MVP and was named best defensive back. Herron was a captain for both the basketball and baseball teams. He was inducted in the HOF in
2012 as member of the 1965 football team. He was nominated by Rachel Herron. Ray Metz, who will be inducted into the HOF posthumously, coached a total of six years at Carrollton High School. He led the Warrior football team in 1928 and the basketball team from 1929-1934. He compiled a 4735 regular season record and was 10-5 in tournament play during that period. He took the 1930 team to the state semi-finals. He held the record for most tournament wins until Matt Voll surpassed the mark in 2011. Metz was nominated by Ron Colaprete.

The NFHS Voice: Shout-out to health-care workers and state high school associations By DR. KARISSA L. NIEHOFF
excitement of the NCAA basketball tournament, from a pure numbers standpoint, more people – students, coaches, parents, administrators and fans – are realizing the huge void in life without high school activity programs. During these difficult days in our nation, it is hard to concentrate on our normal daily tasks as reports on the national health crisis blare across our television screens 24 hours a day. But permit us as we pause to thank the doctors, nurses and other health-care workers who are helping to save lives every day, to also remember some important individuals who play significant roles in leading high school sports and activities in our nation. We want to give a big shout-out to the organizations that help make high school sports and performing arts happen on a day-to-day basis: the 51 state high school associations that are
NFHS Executive Director
We are living in unprecedented times. We are all in this together. We will get through this. These lines are repeated every day as our nation takes on one its biggest challenges ever. As many of us have found solace in our homes to guard against the spread of COVID-19, and we pray for our brave health-care workers on the front line, we have more time each day to reflect on what is important in life. With schools closed throughout the country and high school sports and performing arts on hold, we realize more than ever the importance of these programs and how much we miss the daily busyness of school activities. While some people long for the daily MLB or NBA box scores or the

members of the NFHS which, like all of us, are on the sidelines waiting for the opportunity to spring into action. These education-based associations establish eligibility, participation, academic and transfer rules for schools in their states, in addition to conducting state-culminating tournaments in numerous sports and – in those associations that govern nonathletics programs – performing arts activities. These associations work tirelessly to stage numerous state championships in several sports for boys and girls, and these events are truly the highlight of the year – for the state associations, the schools in those states, and the many athletes who are able to play in these tournaments. Except for this year, of course. About two-thirds of our associations were unable to complete their winter series
of championships, and although only seven states have cancelled spring state championships as of April 1, that number undoubtedly will rise as more states elect not to re-openthis school year. In addition to the millions of high school student participants who have expressed disappointment in not being able to compete in state tournaments this year, the cancellation of these events has been devastating to our member state associations, which rely on revenue from these events to fund other educational programs throughout the year. While we pray daily for those who are hospitalized with COVID-19 as well as the thousands of medical professionals who are risking their own lives each and every day, we look forward to the end of this pandemic and the opportunity for these 51 leadership groups to help

attend Norwich University in Northfield, VT. Upon completion of her schooling she plans to enlist in the United States Military and become an officer. When asked what teacher, coach, family member or special friend has influenced her and why, Summer said: My father has influenced me in so many ways. Whether it be encouragement, pushing me to become a better version of myself or just supporting me through everything. He’s been one of the biggest blessings in my life. In offering advice for success in life, Summer said: Don’t give up. You need to push yourself to your limits. When you think about quitting, think about why you started in the first place. Life is going to push you down, but you need to learn how to get back up. Set your goals high, keep you head in the right place and continue to work for what you want.

Ohio Governor Mike DeWine, Lt. Governor Jon Husted, and Dr. Amy Acton, MD, MPH, provided the following updates on Ohio’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic on Tuesday, April 7. LIQUOR CONTROL COMMISSION VOTE: The Ohio Liquor Control Commission passed an emergency rule to allow establishments with an existing on-premises liquor permit to sell and deliver alcohol, including high-proof liquor in limited quantity, for off-premises consumption. Breweries can also now sell beer and wine that are not their own without food purchase, but food purchase is required for the sale of high-proof liquor. Under the rule, patrons can purchase no more than two drinks per meal. All drinks must be closed and remain closed during transport as per the open container law cited in ORC 4301.01(B)(6). Drinks cannot contain more than two ounces of spirituous liquor per container. This rule will remain in effect
for up to 120 days unless rescinded by the Liquor Control Commission, whichever occurs first. Similar emergency rulings have been enacted recently in other states, such as New York and Texas, to provide some financial relief to restaurants and bars that have had to close their dining rooms to contain the spread of COVID-19. As always, patrons are encouraged to drink responsibly and obey all applicable laws. OFFICE OF SMALL BUSINESS RELIEF A new office has been developed within the Ohio Development Services Agency to better coordinate Ohio’s efforts to identify and provide support for Ohio’s nearly 950,000 small businesses. The Office of Small Business Relief will: Serve as the state’s designated agency for administrating federal recovery funds awarded to Ohio for small business support and recovery; Work with federal, state, and local partners to evaluate and
determine possible regulatory reforms that encourage employment and job creation; and Coordinate efforts of Ohio’s Small Business Development Centers and Minority Business Assistance Centers. More information on all resources currently available to small businesses is available at coronavirus.ohio.gov/BusinessHelp. SNAP UPDATE: The Ohio Department of Job and Family Services announced today that those who did not already receive the maximum monthly allotment for their household size from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) in March will be issued an additional payment beginning this week. All SNAP-eligible households will also soon be able to pick up a pre-packaged box of food at their local food bank. Ohio obtained federal approval to waive the administrative verification normally required at food banks to streamline the process and limit person-to-person contact.
BCC enrolling for 2020-21 The close of the 2019-20 school year looks slightly different this year for students at Buckeye Career Center and its partner schools.

Because of this, Buckeye Career Center is still enrolling for next school year. Prospective students are invited to apply online at www.BuckeyeCareerCenter.org. You can complete the online application or print and mail your completed application to 545 University Dr. NE, New Philadelphia, OH 44663.

Our students earned 791 credentials during the 2018-19 school year and in 2018, we had a 98% placement rate, meaning 98% of our students were employed, enlisted in the military, or began higher education after high school

At the age of sixteen, this young man joined the Solomon Islands Protectorate Constabulary. Jacob Charles Vouza served in the Constabulary for 25 years attaining the rank of Sergeant Major before retiring in 1941. After the Japanese invaded his home island in World War II, he returned to active duty with the British forces and volunteered to work with the Coastwatchers. Vouza’s experience as a scout had already been estab-
lished when the 1st Marine Division landed on Guadalcanal. On August 7, 1941, he rescued a downed navy pilot from the USS Wasp, who was shot down inside Japanese-held territory. He guided the pilot to friendly lines where Vouza met the Marines for the first time. Vouza then volunteered to scout behind enemy lines for the Marines. On August 27, he was captured by the Japanese while on a Marine Corps mission to locate suspended enemy lookout stations. Having found a small American flag in Vouza’s loincloth, the Japanese tied him to a tree and tried to force him to reveal information about Allied forces. Vouza was questioned for hours, but refused to talk. He was tortured and bayoneted about the arms, throat, shoulders, face and stomach and left to die. He managed to free himself af-
ter his captors left and made his way through miles of jungle to American lines. There, he gave valuable intelligence information about impending Japanese attacks before accepting medical attention. After spending 12 days in the hospital, Vouza then returned to duty as the chief scout for the Marines. He accompanied Lieutenant Colonel Evans F. Carlson and the 2nd Marine Raider Battalion when they made their 30-day raid behind enemy lines at Guadalcanal. Sergeant Major Vouza was highly decorated for his World War II service. The Silver Star was presented to him personally by Major General Alexander A. Vandergrift, commanding general for the 1st Marine Division, for refusing to give information under Japanese torture. He was also awarded the Legion of Merit for outstanding service with the 2nd Raider

typically have a problem-solving mind-set and enjoy solving real-world challenges. This year, our students recently disassembled a power line reel for AEP Ohio, drew new plans, and re-created the design for use in mass production, if needed. They are also learning about the manufacturing process, product
design, robotics, and automation using a robotic arm, 3-D printer, and more. If you are looking for something that would allow you to be outside more often, we offer Landscaping & Turf Management. Students in this program are outside nearly every day, maintaining the grounds

Sherry’s Book Corner Hi kids! Well, I know you are home from school for the rest of the school year.... so do as you’re told to stay safe! As I told your parents in my adult column, I received a postcard from President Trump in the mail with guidelines on being safe. I am going to share this paragraph with you that was on the card, “Even if you are young, or otherwise healthy, you are at risk and your activities can increase the risk for others. It is critical that you do your part to slow the spread of the coronavirus.” As I see it, we all need to do what we can and do what we are told. I think you’ll love this story. It is about a little town called Rosetown. Rosetown is in the state of Indiana.

scribed in Polish/Lithuanian so Ms. Prince repainted the station titles in English, fixed any plaster issues and gave the stations a fresh coat of paint.

The 14 Stations depict the primary scenes of Jesus’ suffering and death. Also referred to as the Way of The Cross, the Stations of the Cross are designed to help Catholics spiritually embark on a pilgrimage of contemplation and prayerful reverence, especially during the Easter season.

A devotion to the Stations of the Cross bears with it generous indulgences for the faithful and allows Catholics to more fervently take up their personal crosses of trial and suffering.
