Carrollton Alumni HOF welcomes four By KIMBERLY LEWIS FPS Editor Four Carrollton High School graduates were welcomed into the Carrollton Schools Alumni Foundation’s Hall of Fame Friday, May 10, at the Atwood Yacht Club. While all four inductees, Dr. Jack Maffett, Dean Rinehart, William Wohlwend and Don Rutledge, gave heartfelt thanks for the honor, they entertained the approximately 100 attendees as they recounted humorous stories of their lives. Foundation Vice President Steven Barnett noted, “It means a lot to be an alumnus of Carrollton High School.”

He pointed out the inductees have “stayed local to Carrollton and made it their home.” Inductee Dean Rinehart started the Carroll County Delivery, as it is called by the Akron Canton Food Bank, with three others. His call to service began in 1997 after attending a Promise Keepers conference with his sons. In 2006, he began picking up food for area food pantries and soon realized it would be easier with a box truck. By 2007, he had purchased the first of five trucks. “It may seem like I purchased the truck, but Carroll Cooperative grant helped

Brick Street Art & Jazz Festival features Former staff revisit Bell Herron kid-friendly activities By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent

Former classmates, some recent and some from long ago, gathered in the hallways of Bell Herron Middle School for one last look around before the school is closed and demolished in June. Carrollton students in grades 6 to 12 will attend the new campus that is built along State Route 332 just south of Carrollton. Bell Herron was built originally built in 1926 with a bond passage of $145,000. It served first as Carrollton High School and then was known as the junior high school after the new high school was built. It opened in September of 1927. At first residents questioned the wisdom of building such a large building because there were a few classrooms that were empty and not needed that year. But the wisdom of former superintendents, W.R. Bell and J. Wendell Herron was quickly apparent as families grew during the next five years and all spaces were used. Additional rooms were added in 1937, a farm shop, a music room, and two large locker and shower rooms were added. In 1928 the numbers of students in the district was 1,008. In 1982 it was 3,159. Currently the student count is slightly under 2,000. Carrollton Schools Superintendent Dave Quattrochi welcomed visitors and former students. “You will never forget the memories,

Carroll County Relay for Life is Saturday

Members of the community of Augusta enjoyed one last look at every part of the elementary school building they grew up in. These included those who graduated from Augusta High School before they joined the Carrollton Exempted School District. Augusta’s school joined the Carrollton district in 1966. Both buildings will be demolished following this school year in June. All elementary students in the Carrollton School district will attend school this fall in the former Carrollton High School. Grades 6 to 12 will be attending school at the new school campus on State Route 332, just outside of Carrollton near the football stadium. Visitors toured all the nooks and crannies of the building and shared many fun memories with former classmates they ran into Saturday, May 11. It seems everyone in the area wanted one last look at the old building. Visitors jammed the hallways, and people patiently waited their turn to get into a classroom and remember where they sat and which teacher taught which subject during their years at Augusta. In the gymnasium of Augusta Elemen-

Board seeks professional manager for county airport

By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent

The position of Airport Manager has been in limbo for many months. The Airport Authority Board has discussed the matter at length and decided at their meeting of May 13 to hire a professional airport manager who has the appropriate education and degrees. Board members agreed to meet with county commissioners to seek their help in paying for a professional manager for the county airport. For many years the airport manager has also been a member of the Authority Board, which is clearly illegal according to the Ohio Revised Code and Sunshine Laws. In March, the committee that was formed to find a new manager, Karen Tuttle, Jonathan Walters and Al Jeske, said that member Dave Fitzgerald was willing to step down from the board to be the manager of the airport. No motions were made regarding this matter and at the May meeting it was not a consideration. Tuttle said the board members can’t do everything. They can’t do all the work, all the manual labor, because it’s not sustainable and they are all wore out. During a recent conference, Tuttle learned that all other airports have professional managers. Board members agreed to permit the committee to approach commissioners to seek their help in paying the cost of a pro-

fessional airport manager. Tuttle said this person would also be able to do grant writing. Carroll County Airport Authority board members are still trying to get residents to sign an agreement to transfer a small portion of the resident’s land to the airport. The Federal Aviation Administration informed the local airport months ago that a new property map needed to be produced and property lines clearly laid out. The airport has been using small pieces of surrounding land owners property for many years but now needs to have it prepared and recorded correctly. Board Attorney John Wirz said he has called many times and has been unable to reach the property owner at any time. Wirz advised that a letter needs to be sent to establish communication with the owner. Board members held a discussion about the mowing that needs done at the airport. Member Dave Fitzgerald said that the airport is behind on the mowing. Board members that usually help with maintenance of the property have not been able to continue to volunteer their services for this as much as in the past. Former board member Rick Carlton presented the board with an idea that might help with those chores. Carlton explained that he has closed his tree farm but continues to keep two employees on his payroll to cover work still needed at his farm. He pays them $20 and $14 per hour. Carlton said he does not have enough work on the farm to

keep these men working a full week. “You could have them. We would still pay their social security, unemployment, workers comp, and you could have them on as needed basis,” said Carlton. Following further discussion about insurance and liability that would be provided by Carlton, the board agreed to use these workers at a cost of $40 per hour on an as needed basis to do the mowing at the airport. Since some areas have grass more than a foot tall, member Sonny Fitzsimmons agreed to bring his equipment down to cut the grass and remove it in his wagon to keep the grass underneath from dying. Then the new mowing crew will be utilized. In other business the board: - ELECTED officers at the beginning of the meeting. John Cross was chosen as President and Dave Fitzgerald was chosen as Vice President of the board through May of 2020. - WILL need to order fuel in about 7 weeks. Carroll County fuel prices are below other local airport costs. - AGREED to present the only person interested in the vacant position on the Authority Board, Rick Dorznek, to the county commissioners. Appointments are to be recommended to commissioners by the airport board but commissioners may accept, reject, or place someone of their choosing to be on the board. - ANNOUNCED the next meeting will be held Monday, July 8, at 6 p.m. at the Microtel on Canton Road in Carrollton.

Antonia M. Peters

Colton James Boring, 22, of Carrollton and formerly of Dover, passed away May 12, 2019, following injuries sustained from an automobile accident. Born in Dover August 29, 1996, Colton was “Mama’s Boy” to his mother, Gretchen (Sensel) Boring and a best friend to his father, Frank Boring. After graduating from Dover High School and Buckeye Career Center in 2015, Colton followed in his dad’s footsteps, continuing his education at Northwest Lineman College in Denton, TX, where he focused his education on power line construction. He was a devoted apprentice with Henkel & McCoy and was a member of IBEW Local 71. Colton was blessed to have met and be engaged to his lifelong friend, Franchesca Faye “Frankie” Fantin, with plans of an October wedding. Together, they were the proud parents of their furry children, Tank and Tequila. Whether Colton was at Bob Evans, the Midvale Speedway, or on the job site, he knew no strangers. He befriended everyone he met and left each conversation and interaction better than it began. Being in the outdoors, whether on a four-wheeler, fishing, or on a job site, was Colton’s place of peace. He was passionate about everything he did, always giving the best of himself to the situation at hand. In addition to being the joy of his parents lives, Colton was an exceptional, loving brother to his sisters, Caitlyn and Carley Boring of Dover. Many loving moments were shared on the phone or engaged in activity with his dear grandparents, Richard and Barbara Boring of Carrollton and Bob and Trudy Sensel of Atwood Lake. He will also be deeply missed by his fiance’s parents, Ed and Jen Fantin of Carrollton and his aunts and uncles that he loved dearly, Desta (John) Cooper, Angie (Dayne) Thomas, and Lisa (Scott) Tritt; his great-grandmother, Lois Maple; and his godson, Elijah Holt, in addition to numerous cousins and dear friends. Visitation was held in the Geib Funeral Center, 5600 N. Wooster Ave., Dover, Wednesday, May 15, 2019 from 5-8 p.m. A service celebrating Colton’s life was held in the funeral home Thursday at 11 a.m. with burial to follow in Dover Burial Park.

David had a great love of bluegrass music, motorcycles. and his Miata. He loved to travel the Blue Ridge Parkway and mountains of West Virginia. Following retirement, he continued to play bluegrass music, but slowed down, sat on the front porch, and waved at those who continued off to work with a smile on his face. Honoring his wishes of remaining humble in all things you do, there will be no calling hours or funeral service, but the lessons learned and his spirit will endure in the lives of those he touched.

Letter to the Editor Let the Constitution decide. President Donald Trump took his oath of office to “preserve, protect and defend” the Constitution of the United States. Therefore, we should let the Constitution serve as the measure of his merit to stay in office. Article II, Sec. 4 deals with the question of impeaching presidents and other high goverment officials. Trump cannot be impeached and removed from office for anything he did or said prior to his date of swearing in to office, Jan. 20, 2017. Prior to that, he was acting as a private citizen and was not abusing the powers of office, collusion or no collusion. There is no evidence that the Russians successfully changed the tally of votes to Trump’s favor in the elections of 2016 anyway. We cannot impeach and remove our presidents and other high government officials from office just on the basis of their personal appearance, demeanor, speech habits or even etiquette. “High crimes and misdemeanors” is the standard. We must prove that presidents and other officials somehow actually broke the law. I personally despised Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon and am now sorry I voted for him and think their names deserve to be written on a public bathroom wall as obscenities. I strongly think Bill Clinton deserved to be impeached and removed from the White House for all his serial sexcapades, Monica, Paula, Jennifer, Juanita, etc., etc. Apparently however, too many members of Congress did the same. It is apparent that too many of our elected officials do the same, using our tax money to the hush and slush funds to cover their sins and avoid public

embarrassment. Rape is a crime of felonious magnitude, however. It is clear that we have a double standard of law and justice - one for Democrats and a different, harder one for Republicans. Lock her up! On the question of foreigners interfering with our elections to change our results just look at what the Democrats do on the immigration question. They invite illegal aliens to vote in our elections to the perpetual favor of the Democrats. Then, there is the issue of treason. Article III, Sec. 3, the question there is not what did the Russians do for Trump, but what did he do for them as a “quid pro quo” payback? Nothing apparently. He would not pay them anything for their failure to change the tally of votes in the 2016 election in his favor. It is abundently clear the so-called “evil-genius” won the election by M.A.G.A. flyover people and deplorable people as Billary calls us, who are damn sick and tired of these United States of America headed toward socialism by the Democratic party. They want to do away with the first amendment to the Constitution, the second amendment also and anything else that pertains to our freedom so that we will be serfs and led around like sheep while they remain in control of our tax dollars. As to high crimes and misdeeds and misdemeanors, I want to see them proved. I want to see them on MSNBC, CNN and any other left-leaning broadcasts. Donald Trump, good or bad as you think. Whatever it is. It’s as James Carville said, “It’s the economy, stupid!” John Dewell Scio

Custer observance planned for June 1 Dave Rose, president of the Custer Memorial Association, has announced that this year’s observance will feature CMA Past President E. Leroy VanHorne as the speaker. The observance will be held Saturday, June 1, at and around the Custer Monument in New Rumley on state Route 646. VanHorne’s program will be “Growing Up in New Rumley with the Custer Legacy.” His talk will go into detail of how, while a youth in New Rumley, he became interested in the life of New Rumley’s famous citizen, General George Armstrong Custer, his family and the businesses that once made the village a possible county seat of Harrison County. His presentation will include photographs and postcards he has collected over the years. VanHorne has been a long-time member of the CMA and has loaned many items of his collection to the Custer Museum in the past, along with being involved in the observances and birthday parties as president and master of ceremonies. His knowledge of Custer has been shared also in Monroe, Mich., and with the Little BigHorn Associates. He was the auditor of Carroll County. The day will start with music provided by Main Street Brass quintet of Coshocton at the monument at 11 a.m. They will be performing the National Anthem and Custer-related songs. Members of the Jewett Veterans of Foreign Wars General George Armstrong Custer Post 3072 will raise the flag at the monument, followed by remarks and introduction of guests by Rose.

LEROY VANHORNE Dr. Mandal Haas of Carrollton will be back with his Civil War cannon, along with artillery and infantry reenactors to explain their equipment and give demonstrations. Time will be given for guests to enjoy lunch at the New Rumley United Methodist Church and visit the Custer Museum and Center. Last year’s featured speaker, Nicola Sgro (aka Lt. Charles DeRudio) from Chesterfield, Mich., will be back with his collection of Indian War artifacts on display. Steve and Lisa Ball will also be back with their musical program in the Methodist Church Sanctuary. Their program of Civil War era songs, along with their history and interesting stories are always a crowd pleaser. VanHorne’s program will follow in the sanctuary. The day’s events culminate with General Custer’s (aka Rick Williams) remarks. The museum and gift shop will be open from 10 a.m. until after the presentations. Admission for all events are free.

Pastor’s Pen Psalm 1. A Reflection. Ah, Spring! The leaves are unfurling from their branches, the grass is turning green, and while love might not be in the air, pollen sure is! The warmer temperatures cause us to refuel our lawn mowers, sharpen the hedge trimmers, clean up the garden tools and bring out the power washers to finally rid ourselves of this past winter weather. We get out our fishing gear, dust off all the baseball and softball equipment, inspect the boat, the water skis, the inflatable rafts and tubes, and make sure all the golf clubs and bags are fully equipped with enough balls, tees, and the like. We clean up the grill, make sure we have enough burgers, hot dogs, ribs, and chicken to have a great opening party. Once all these things are done we are certain that this is going to be a great summer! As I read over the list, I am certain I forgot something. Let’s see: - Yard and garden ready? Check - House and garage and walkways all power-washed? Check - Tools, boat, sporting equipment, golf clubs, and boat ready? Check - Grill ready, full tank of propane, food being prepared? Check - Ready to take on summer full blast? Check Nope, I think I got it all. I am ready for summer. But I still think you forgot one thing. Where does God and church fit into your summer equation? I hear it all the time. People tell me that as a pastor I cannot expect everyone to drop their summer schedule just to take time out and come to church. Who does that anymore anyway? Right? Job 8:11-14 11 Can the papyrus grow up without a marsh? Can the reeds flourish without water? 12 ​​While it is yet green and not cut down, It withers before any other plant. 13 ​​So are the paths of all who forget God; And the hope of the hypocrite shall perish 14 ​​Whose confidence shall be cut off, And whose trust is a spider’s web. (Highlights mine) Where will your path take you this summer? I hope you get the opportunity to get out and enjoy the warm weather and all the good things that it provides. Just don’t forget The One who made the warm weather and gave you the means to enjoy those good things. Pastors and church workers enjoy those things as well, but many seem to throw out their godly priorities as soon as warm weather appears. Don’t be like the papyrus in Job 8. Be more like the man in Psalm 1 whose delight, in any season, is the law of the Lord and in that law he meditates day and night. Enjoy our great weather, but don’t leave God out of your plans. Continue to be faithful to your Creator and to your church body and watch how you will be blessed this spring and summer. And, in the meantime, have that grilling out party. I like my cheeseburger medium rare with onions and mustard please. Dr. Chuck Wilson Pastor, Carrollton Bible Chapel

Carroll County Soil and Water Conservation District’s board and staff hold the President’s Award they received from the Ohio Federation of Soil and Water. They are (front, from left) ag technician Katelyn Valdinger, district Administrator Kim Vance, administrative assistant Sherry Liber and watershed specialist Kristy Dickey; and (back) board members John McKarns, Byron Shankel, Doug Eshler, Clifford Miller and Brad Luckey and ag technician Joseph Mayle.

Carroll SWCD receives President’s Award from Ohio Federation The Carroll County Soil and Water Conservation District recently received the President’s Award from the Ohio Federation of Soil and Water. The award reads, “Great achievements are nurtured with the cooperation of many minds with a common vision working toward a common goal.” Local SWCD supervisors and staff attended the annual Conservation Partnership Meeting in downtown Columbus with more than 500 leaders representing Ohio’s 88 SWCDs, partners from the Ohio Department of Agriculture, the USDA

Natural Resources Conservation Service, Ohio Department Natural Resources, Ohio Environmental Protection Agency, The Ohio State University, agriculture commodity groups and environmental organizations. This year’s theme was “Conservation Crusade: Inspiring Stewards for the Future.” District Administrator Kimberly Vance presented one of the breakout sessions at the conference. “Ohio’s conservation efforts are geared towards positively impacting our local communities through a variety of

programs and projects aimed to increase the economy while advancing conservation stewardship,” said Vance. “Without conservation efforts, our food, energy and fiber production would be greatly diminished, as would our quality of life.” To learn more about the event and the great things Ohio’s 88 SWCDs are doing locally, contact the Carroll SWCD staff at 330-627-9852 Ext. 3 or at kim. vance@carrollswcd.org and/or contact the Ohio Federation of Soil and Water Conservation Districts at 614- 784-1900 or at www.ofswcd.org.

Lady Warriors claim EBC championship By JORDAN MILLER

Sports Editor

SALEM – Another regular season is in the books for the Carrollton Warriors track teams.

The Lady Warriors concluded the regular season by winning the Eastern Buckeye Conference’s first-ever championship with 132 points. Marlington followed with 116 points. The Carrollton boys track team

placed fourth with 83.5 points. Salem won the boys conference title with 156 points. During their dominating performance at the conference meet, the Lady Warriors won five of the 16

track and field events. “We have a group of dedicated girls that have a no-nonsense work ethic that made a championship possible,” Carrollton track and field coach Mike Aukerman said. “We had some great leadership from Mac, Layna, Cindy, Micah and Alivia throughout the year and everyone else just jumped on board and what we saw was a group of athletes with a singular focus to be at their best daily.” Carrollton senior track standout Micah Donley accomplished a feat that no one in CHS school history has ever done. Donley, a four-year letter winner of the Carrollton track team, won conference titles in the 100 (12.52), 200 (26.09), 400 (58.09) and as a member of the 4x400 relay team (4:06.74) along with Cindy Lewis, Jillian Rinkes and Josie Burgett. “Other coaches rave about her to me because she looks so graceful and effortless when she runs,” Aukerman said about Donley. “For her to go undefeated in her league career - 16 for 16 - is unheard of. She wants to be elite and it shows in her drive to improve. When other kids see her having that type of mentality, it is hard not to follow her example.” Carrollton defending state champion Alivia Bentley defended her conference title in the shot put with a throw of 44’ 6.75”. She also placed second in the discus event with a throw of 130’ 11”. Carrollton freshman Elizabeth Potts placed sixth in the 100 with a time of 13.62. She finished ninth in the 400, running a 1:08.02. Carrollton seniors Layna Pasiuk (16.41) and Mac Tubaugh (16.58) placed third and fourth in the 100meter hurdles, respectively. Rinkes recorded a time of 27.59 in the 200-meter dash, placing sixth for the Lady Warriors. The girls 4x800 relay team of Tessa Bodo, Alli Stackhouse, Camryn Barker and Burgett finished fourth, running a time of 10:51.52. Potts, Stackhouse, Lewis and Rinkes made up the 4x200 team, who placed third with a time of 1:50.89. Barker placed fourth in the mile with a time of 5:42.49. Ella Little finished 10th, recording a time of 6:11.53. Barker also placed fourth in the twomile with a time of 12:39.45. Mary

Keane finished eighth in the event with a time of 14:33.71. Lewis finished third in the 300-meter hurdles with a time of 49.53. Pasiuk followed with a fourth-place finish and time of 51.76. Burgett claimed fifth place on the podium in the 800 with a time of 2:33.19. Stackhouse finished sixth in the event with a time of 2:36.13. Amanda Bentley recorded a throw of 36’ 4.25” in the shot put, placing third. She finished fourth in discus with a throw of 118’ 7”. Tubaugh recorded a jump of 4’ 8” in the high jump, placing seventh at EBC. Haidyn Shuman placed ninth with a time of 4’ 6”. Tubaugh finished fifth in the long jump with a jump of 15’ 1.75”. Amanda Byler placed 14th in the event with a jump of 13’ 7.5”. CARROLLTON BOYS The Carrollton boys track team had won one individual conference championship. Carrollton senior Calob Dalton set a new CHS school record in the 100meter dash with a time of 11.16, earning himself an EBC title in the event. Dalton placed third in the 200 with a time of 22.98. Dalton, Drue Moore, Talen Timberlake and Brady Benner made up the Carrollton 4x400 relay team, which placed third with a time of 4:41.64. “Calob has just continued to get better - every year... and every race,” Aukerman said. “I joke that he is like a championship derby horse... you know when the gun goes off, something special could happen. That has been the case the last few weeks.” Timberlake, a first-year track athlete, placed second in the high jump with a jump of 6’ 2”. He finished fifth in the 800 with a time of 2:12.39. “Talen is extremely gifted,” Aukerman said about Timberlake’s first year of track so far. “He is a tremendous athlete and the sky is the limit for him. Nothing surprises me with him. I’ve seen him do incredible things in practice - in basketball and track. I am excited to see him continue to master his technique because the potential for 6-4,6-6 is there this year. That would mean a possible school record and a state championship berth.” See CHAMPIONSHIP , P. 8

Warriors-Lions slug it out through 10-inning battle By CHRIS MODRANSKI The Carrollton Warrior Baseball team’s season struggles continue as they fell to the Salem Quakers twice and the Minerva Lions last week. The Salem Quakers defeated the Warriors in two games by final scores of 7-0 and 5-4 during the conference series last week. The first game of the series, Carrollton faced off against their ace pitcher, Rhoades who lasted all seven innings only allowing one hit and gave up two walks while fanning 9 Carrollton batters. Carrollton’s Caden Buxton was the only batter to reach base off of Rhoades. Carrollton’s Evan Shaw went five innings allowing nine hits and seven runs. Trevor Lindenbaum pitched one inning in relief allowing zero hits but gave up two walks. Although Carrollton lost 5-4 the very next day to Salem, their offense got on base and reached home plate to make a ballgame. Brody Wade went two-for-four with two signals and scored one run, while Teagin Mohn and Nick Leonard each

went one-for-three scoring a run. Wade threw the ball for the Warriors, going five and one-third innings, giving up eight hits and three runs while Price pitched in relief for one and two-thirds innings giving up two runs on three hits. Carrollton led Salem 4-3 after fiving innings but watched the game slip away in the top of the seventh inning, surrendering two runs to the Quakers. In the sectional tournament, Carrollton faced off against the Minerva Lions on Saturday, falling to the school rival by a final score of six to five. Wade went 4-of-5 at the plate for the Warriors, including a double and three singles, scoring twice and knocking in two other runners. Josh Shephard went three-for-four providing one run in support. Buxton went two-for-four in the game. Price pitched for five innings giving up six hits and five runs. Lewis came in for four innings of relief allowing one run on nine hits. Minerva walked off in the bottom of the tenth inning. Carrollton finished the season with a final record of 6-16 and 2-11 in the Eastern Buckeye Conference.

The Carrollton Lady Warrior softball season came to an end last week after dropping their last regular season game to the Canton South Lady Wildcats and the opening round of the tournament to the River View Lady Black Bears. The Lady Warriors fell by a final score of 9-3 against Canton South last Tuesday evening. Zoe Drake led the Warriors on offense going two-for-three from the batter’s box including a single and a home run. Rickee Stidom was one-for-three with a runnerbatted-in (RBI). Madison Keyser and Jojo Vipperman each went one-for-three during the game. Carrollton’s Faith Loy and Anissa Flanagan each scored runs for the Lady Warriors Stidom lasted four and two-thirds innings on the mound allowing seven hits and giving up nine runs while walking two Lady Wildcats. Canton South was able to hit two home runs off of Stidom

as well. Jadyn Pidgeon came on in relief for one and one-third innings, only giving up one hit in the ballgame. The Lady Warriors faced off against a tough River View team in the opening round of the high school softball tournament, dropping the game to the Lady Black Bears 11-0. The Lady Black Bears kept the Warrior hitting to a minimum only allowing two hits in the five-inning game. Vipperman and Loy each went one-for-two from the plate. Once again, Stidom operated from the mound for the Warriors lasting two and one-third innings giving up nine runs on seven hits and two walks. Pidgeon stepped in as a relief pitcher for one and two-thirds innings allowing two runs on two hits. The Lady Warriors end their season with an overall record of 5-19 and 1-11 in the Eastern Buckeye Conference.

Council agrees to vacate alley

By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent

Carrollton Council has had discussion numerous times in recent years regarding the request by residents to close an alley that is not a dedicated alley and has never been used as an alley. The alley is very narrow and is covered in grass and mowed by the residents whose homes attach to the alley. Residents had been told that the alley was closed in 1957 but no paperwork has been found to document that claim. Residents have complained because people pull into the alley off of 5th Street and find themselves in those residents’ back yards in the grass and looking at a dead end sign. Carrollton’s Planning Commission met with the residents Monday, May 13 before the regular council meeting. After hearing the complaints, expla-

nations and pleas from residents to vacate the alley, the commission voted to recommend to council that the alley remain an open alley. After council convened at 7 p.m. more discussion was held, more explanations about water runoff and damage to flower beds and garages, council agreed to vacate the alley and have the property surveyed, new pins placed and a share of the property will be transferred to each of the property owners. Council approved several ordinances on emergency basis. Ordinance 2019-22 will accept the bid of Fire Force Inc. for turn out gear for the village fire department at a cost of $189,028. Ordinance 2019-23 authorizes the purchase of a sewer cleaner not to exceed $75,740. Ordinance 2019-24 approves the purchase of a caterpillar loader not to exceed the cost of $102,676. Ordinance 2019-25 accepts the bid of Superior Paving and Materials, Inc. of North Can-

ton at a cost of $213,729 for paving projects for the village. Ordinance 2019-26 amends the ordinance that will prohibit placing grass clippings or other organic materials on streets or other public right of ways. In other business, council: - AUTHORIZED a donation of $3,000 for fireworks on July 6th to be held at the fairgrounds. - LEARNED new toys will be installed at Kiddie Land Park Tuesday, May 14. Concrete will be poured and children will be able to play on the new toys over the weekend. - WILL hold the second council meeting of the month Tuesday, May 28 at 7 p.m. in village hall due to the Memorial Day holiday. - ANNOUNCED that Mr. Thrifty stated they will continue to deliver newspapers in blue bags in driveways and will not deliver in mailboxes as they have before. If residents wish to discontinue their delivery, they may call Denise Milhoan at 330-364-8319.

Carroll County OhioMeansJobs offers GED classes Carroll County Family and Children First Council’s GED preparation classes and tutoring services (also known as the Employment Preparation Program) are being offered at OhioMeansJobs Carroll County, the county’s Jobs Center for employment

and training services. Travis Weyand, program instructor, will provide one-onone tutoring services to those students enrolled in the program that want to obtain their GED, or those who need to upgrade their skills.

Lest We Forget By CAPT. CHARLES PEARSON

U.S. Marine Corps, ret. Herbert A. Littleton was a telephone lineman in Nampa, Idaho, prior to his joining the United States Marine Corps during the Korean War. After basic and advanced training, PFC Littleton found himself serving as a radio operator with an artillery forward observation team from Company C, 1st Battalion, 7th Marines, 1st Marine Division (reinforced in Chuncheon, Korea, in April 1951). Enemy forces were close enough that Littleton and his team could overhear their conversations. Around 0130 on 22 April, as PFC Littleton was standing watch, Chinese troops launched an attack on his position. He immediately alerted his team and moved forward to begin calling in artillery fire on the

enemy. His team leader, Lt. Bill Donovan, had to order him and the radio strapped to his back (the team’s lifeline to outside help) to withdraw to a less exposed position. At that moment, a Chinese hand grenade landed on their bunker. PFC Littleton reacted instantly. He slipped out of his radio harness and shouted ”Look out, Lieutenant!” as he hurled himself on the deadly missile, absorbing it’s full, shattering impact on his body. His brave actions saved the lives of his Lieutenant and the other members of his team. PFC Littleton was awarded the Medal of Honor posthumously for his gallant actions that morning. We must not forget those who have given their lives for our freedom. Please keep all of our service men and women in your prayers. Charles Pearson is the chaplain for the Malvern Legion Post 375 and Carrollton VFW Post 3301.

BELL from PG. 1 the new 6 to 12 building. They will have a state of the art 21st century facility, with air conditioning, extended learning spaces and new technology,” said Quattrochi. Carrollton School Board President Rose Seck told visitors that there was a lot of history in this building such as plays, musicals, programs, spelling bees, special events and more. Fred Boggs served as principal of Bell Herron Middle School for 27 years and began in 1973. He also taught at Kilgore and Harlem schools. “The staff I had working so close together, we were tight knit and we stayed that way,” said Boggs. Pat Roudebush taught Language Arts for 7th and 8th graders at Bell Herron for 35 years. She recommended I check out the dungeon. I didn’t know Bell Herron had one. It was also called the Black Hole, and was originally a bomb shelter. If you went up the stairs at the back right of the stage, there were stairs leading down into “the hole”. It was actually still used for classes. And it wasn’t black.

Susan Wohlwend Logan had fun remembering which classrooms she was assigned to when she attended Bell Herron Middle School.

Fred Boggs served as principal of Bell Herron for 27 years. He enjoyed reminiscing with former teachers.

Susan Wohlwend Logan said she went to Bell Herron, including kindergarten. All the classes were used and she laughed as she said that most of the students were afraid of one

science teacher. “He may have been a very nice man, but he was very stern and we really watched how we behaved when he was around,” said Logan.

AUGUSTA from PG. 1 tary school, alumni gathered around a table covered with old yearbooks and photos. T-shirts depicting the original Augusta High School Blue Devils were available for sale in the gym too. “You knew everyone from first to 12th grade. Friendships you had then, you have now. We had such fun,” said Jim Campbell. Sandy Dinger graduated in 1962. “We were a tight-knit family. We tried to keep out of trouble because there was no way to keep it from your parents. And everyone knew about that stuff,” said Dinger, but added it was a good thing because it helped keep them all safe and straight. Jim Saling Sr. graduated in 1954 and his son Jim, Jr. went through eighth grade at the school. “There were 20 kids in my class. George Kennedy, Bobby Jones, we had good times. Columbiana County used to send kids here too until 1957 when they built the United school,” said Jim Sr. Jim Jr. said the classes for him were about the same size. But he remembers having kindergarten in the old building out back. Most of those at Augusta Saturday tried to remember which rooms held their classes back in their day and what changes have occurred over the years. Some things had been moved around but most remained the same. From all the smiles from classmates, to the laughter heard in

the halls, to the “Do you remember…..”, it was a wonderful day. Many old photos have been preserved and can be found at the following link: https://photos.app.goo.gl/xyznqWYu8Bx-

4TKs5a. They can also be viewed on the school website at Carrolltonschools.org. Simply click on alumni and then click on alumni news.

Many former classmates gathered around a table in the gymnasium at Augusta school on Saturday. They reviewed yearbooks and other pieces of memorabilia.

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.

Hello everyone! Time is going by so quickly. Soon we will be celebrating Memorial Day weekend! When I chose this book for you I had many different reasons in mind. Actually, just every day living was my main thought. Every day living... we all look forward to it don’t we? Some days are better than others. And sometimes, we all need a little something to encourage our spirits. This book not only lifted my spirits, it gave me a reason to laugh out loud! I have a heavy heart today as I write this column. I have a girlfriend I have known since kindergarten. Her name is Debbie. We have been the best of friends all these years. Ye s t e r d a y afternoon, her husband Gene passed away. We knew it was coming, but not so soon. In a year they would have celebrated 50 years of marriage. As I looked through this book again today, it was just what I needed.

ALUMNI from PG. 1 purchase a truck,” he recounted. “Neighbors helped buy a truck. People on the street would give me $20 for the truck. The community bought the trucks.” “The truck never left with a volunteer to help load it,” he pointed out. “We did not load by forklift, we loaded by hand.” He noted the group has picked up 2,983,735 pounds of food and that took 883 trucks to haul. “It has been a good experience,” Rinehart said. “There is a team of people who have helped with the delivery of food.” For a trip to Kenya, he spent a year learning how to lay brick. Once there, he never laid a brick, but he spent it visiting house churches in the community. Inductee Dr. Jack Maffett did not refute Barnett’s claim that Maffett “has seen nearly everyone in this room naket at one time or another.” Maffett said former superintendents W.R. Bell and Mr. Herron taught him actual material, except spelling - he still can’t spell, and the value of people and hon-

esty. He noted he could tell many stories about those in attendance. He recounted how he learned superintendent Herron was “human” after running into Herron while waiting for his mother at a store. Herron asked Maffett is he was “playing hookie.” Maffett had “no,” to which Herron replied, “Well, I am.” Maffett would join Herron for a milkshake as they waited for his mother. Inductee William Wohlwend put on a Carrollton hat after teasing the audience he always wore something at the Coley’s Reunion - note it was not the hat. “I am proud of what I have done,” he said. “Probably, the thing I am most proud of is the Russell and Henry Cole Scholarship. $100,000 selling bean soup, ham sandwiches and a few beers to put kids through college.” He has been volunteering for 47 years. “Some I can talk about it, some I can’t talk about,” Wohlwend

said. Recounting the egg hunts at the Vets Club, he noted the group hid the eggs in mud puddles and whereever they could put them. “I have seen the faces of kids when we deliver Christmas presents and they get the first new pair of shoes they’ve ever owned. It tugs at your heart,” Wohlwend noted. Inductee Don Rutledge believed he was the “least deserving of the honorees” and spoke about how much he appreciated it. Rutledge has spent 50 years covering the news in Carroll County, after getting a job at the Carroll Journal. “I got the job at the newspaper. Popeye Miller and I knew this much about the newspaper business,” Rutledge said, making a zero sign with his hand. “If I knew then, what I know now. I probably would not be in the newspaper business,” he laughed. A portion of the speeches can be found at the Free Press Standard’s Facebook page.

Commissioners address revenue decrease By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent

Congratulations, Becky!

By Sherry Kline Bolitho

Commissioner Jeff Ohler presented a review of the Permanent Improvement fund balance that stands at about $400,000. $52,000 is earmarked for security and $118,000 is set aside for the county home and $67,000 is tied up in purchase orders. That leaves a balance of about $162,000. Commissioner Bob Wirkner stated that the carryover fund has decreased and continues to decrease and this practice cannot continue. Wirkner said he will issue a memo to depart-

ment heads that “the cash position is going the wrong way”. “Rover pipeline has already paid for this year and no additional funds will be coming,” said Wirkner. The budget has been growing faster than incoming revenue can support. Health insurance, child services and indigent defense costs have increased a great deal in the last few years. Projects that need immediate attention from commissioners is the Bell Tower project, the replacement of steps to the 2nd Street parking lot at $26,500, gravel for the senior parking lot at the Senior Center $15,000, health department parking lot $50,000 and Job and Family Services plumbing $25,000.

provement mandates for the county jail could cost as much as $800,000. Commissioners have discussed the option of obtaining $1 million through bonds that would be paid in ten years. Wirkner said all departments have to realize that the budget needs reduced and that means that their requests for their budget for the next year or two must be reduced because commissioners will not be able to fund additional needs as they have done in the last few years. “As for health insurance, we keep adding people and we are raiding our savings to pay the monthly bills. We are spending more than we are taking in and that has to stop now,” said Wirkner.
