If a veteran has difficulty walking and needs transportation they should call the Post at 330-863-2744 before the parade so arrangements can be made. Members of the Sons of the American Legion, Detachment 375, are also asked to march in a group similar to those who have marched in recent years. The public is invited to attend a breakfast at the Post home from 7 to 8:30 a.m. and back to the Post 375 following the ceremonies for a complimentary lunch.

Lee receives maximum sentence on public indecency charges By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent Gary Lee faced Carroll County Municipal Court Judge Gary Willen May 16 and learned his fate regarding charges of three separate counts of public indecency. Lee was arrested after an undercover deputy sheriff was aboard a school bus and more officers were in a vehicle following the bus in early March. On three separate occasions Lee was seen exposing himself to a young girl as she got off the school bus at home. Lee lived nearby. The seven year old girl told her mother Lee had done this numerous times while standing near his garage when she got off the school bus. At first, Lee pleaded not guilty, but changed that plea to guilty at the end of March. He also waived his constitutional rights. Lee has remained in the county jail since his initial arrest on March 8. County Prosecutor Steve Barnett has been criticized for not filing felony charges against Lee but told the public that with the evidence presented, he could only file misdemeanor charges against Lee. With the lesser charges filed against Lee he cannot even be compelled to register as a sex offender. The child’s mother has stated that other allegations have been made against Lee and she hopes they are investigated, prosecuted, and more charges are filed against Lee.

Mangun V. Olivito case

By EMILY J. SCHLOSS FPS Contributor The Supreme Court of Ohio has dismissed the public records request case of Jeffrey Mangun, Carroll County Republican Party chairman, v. Judge Dominick Olivito Jr. in its May 14 decision. The court reported its records indicated Mangun had not filed a merit brief, due May 10, and therefore “failed to prosecute this cause with the requisite diligence.” Judge Olivito had filed a motion to dismiss the complaint on May 6, due to Mangun not making those appropriate filings by the April 30 deadline set by the court, including any depositions or exhibits. The motion to dismiss stated, “Obviously, (Mangun) has both the burden of proof and the obligation to provide

depositions or exhibits in support of his complaint. He has not done so.” Included in the May 14 dismissal filing, the court also ordered that Olivito’s motion to dismiss was moot. The requested documents stem from a meeting in the Carroll County Court of Common Pleas courtroom between Judge Olivito’s staff and staff from the Clerk of Courts regarding office matters. The complaints filed with the Supreme Court of Ohio came at a time of the contested Carroll County Court of Common Pleas election between incumbent Judge Olivito and Republican candidate Michael V. Repella II. Repella won the election and will serve through 2025. Olivito has maintained the request for documents required no response and denied he was avoiding his responsibility for maintaining and producing upon request certain public records.

Cause of deaths released from recent incidents By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent Carroll County Coroner Dr. Mandal B. Haas said Friday, May 17, that the final autopsy and toxicology reports have all been released regarding several accidents in recent months. On December 17, a night of celebration for a Malvern family ended in tragedy. Kenneth Geckler and his son, Vincent, were driving home after celebrating Kenneth’s birthday. While traveling on Avalon Road, they got into an argument and Vincent opened the truck door and stepped out of the vehicle onto the roadway. Haas said Vincent died from severe head injuries and severe trauma and alcohol was a factor in the cause of death. Haas also reported on the cause of death for David Ross, of Meadville, Pennsylvania,

As Lee, in shackles and handcuffs, stood before Willen, Barnett said that they have learned during the investigation that Lee “has some demons” which makes him a risk to the community and children. “I recommend he remain in custody of the court for the maximum time. He should receive treatment and have GPS monitoring”, said Barnett. On Thursday, Judge Gary Willen addressed Lee and the dozen or so family members of the child that were in attendance. Willen reminded Lee he had pled guilty to Count A, public indecency that happened on March 8. Willen sentenced him to the maximum 90 days and a $750 fine plus court costs. By law, Willen said he must give Lee credit for the 69 days he has served in the county jail. This sentence was to begin immediately. On Count B, public indecency that happened on March 6, Willen sentenced him to the maximum of 90 days. This sentence will begin immediately after the first 21 days have been served. On Count C, public indecency that happened on March 5, Willen again sentenced Lee to the maximum of 90 days. These days will begin immediately after the second sentence has been completed.

who died March 8 after his truck crashed on State Route 332. Haas said the autopsy revealed that Ross had severe heart disease and three heart vessels were almost completely closed. It was determined that Ross died immediately from an acute coronary incident. The autopsy report regarding the death of 14 year old Jonathan Minard is still pending, according to Haas. Haas explained that the Stark County Coroner’s office no longer handles the autopsies from other counties. The services from Cuyahoga County are used now and it just takes much longer for the reports to be finished. “Seventeen counties send their cases to Cuyahoga now and the results just take longer due to the volume of cases they are handling,” said Haas. He expects Minard’s final autopsy and toxicology reports to be released soon.

His total time in the Carroll County jail will be 210 days with 60 days reserved at the end of the sentence. “He has accepted full responsibility for his actions. He feels horrible. He feels terrible. He apologizes to the young girl, to her family, and to the community. He is humiliated by it,” said Public Defender Michael Boske. Lee also told Willen that he had found God. “The probation department reviewed your history and the events. This is disturbing on many levels. Your words that you were infatuated with a child, this is unacceptable. What you did for a few moments of gratification has destroyed the childhood of this little girl,” said Willen sternly. “I can’t think of a sentence bad enough. The psychological damage is brutal. Because of the charges, I am limited on sentencing guide lines. I can’t register you as a sex offender. You say you found the Lord. Maybe you did. But I don’t think so. I’ve been wrong before. I’m sure we can find a minister to visit you in jail,” continued Willen. About 20 family members and friends gathered outside the courthouse that day with protest signs asking for the fullest measure of the law against Lee. Several protestors stayed in front of the courthouse with their signs while the majority of family and friends attended the sentencing hearing. The family was safely escorted out at the conclusion of the hearing. Lee, who had been under heavy guard, was escorted from the courtroom by deputies back to his jail cell.

Investigation into Minard’s death continues, says sheriff By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent

Carroll County residents and the family and friends of Jonathan Minard are still waiting for the answers to many questions regarding the death of the Dellroy 14 year old. Carroll County Sheriff Dale Williams understands everyone’s frustration and the need for answers but he is not releasing any information until it is the right time to do it. “The investigation is continuing. We are taking this step by step. We are doing this by the book. We are waiting on final toxicology reports to be finished at the Cuyahoga Coroner’s officer. We do not want to make any mistakes in this in-

vestigation. We want justice for Jonathan,” said Carroll County Sheriff Dale Williams. Jonathan was reported missing Sunday evening, April 13 by his parents. He had gone to work the previous day at a farm near New Harrisburg. He had stayed overnight there before and his parents assumed that was what he was doing that weekend too. Late Sunday afternoon, a friend of the family called Jonathan’s parents to make sure Jonathan had gotten home and hoped he was feeling better. Jonathan was reported to have left work Saturday afternoon due to a severe toothache. His parents began calling friends and family trying to find Jonathan. After a couple of hours, the parents called the sheriff and the search began.

Thorough searches were made for days with hundreds of volunteers, firefighters, rescue personnel and every deputy in the county. Surrounding counties also sent their deputies to help in the search. Finally on Friday, April 19, a shallow grave was found on a farm in Washington Township. It was confirmed to hold the body of Jonathan. The body was sent to the Cuyahoga Coroner’s office. Carroll County Coroner Dr. Mandal B. Haas said that 17 counties are sending their autopsy cases to Cuyahoga and results from those investigations just take longer. Williams said he and his department remain focused and will announce findings when the investigation is completed.

Commissioners address safety issues By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent

Carroll County Loss Control Coordinator Janice Leggett questioned commissioners regarding the safety of the Dog Warden and Assistant Dog Warden. Leggett said that she has been exploring the issue since 2016 and feels it needs addressed. “If a warden is off work and the other one goes on a call, there is no one to check with or monitor the warden on the call,” said Leggett. “If the wardens are alone on duty and answer a call, there is no one to check on them or their safety of the need for assistance,” continued Leggett. The wardens have little protection against dogs or humans. They don’t carry weapons or guns and at times have to deal with very aggressive dogs or their owners. Commissioner Ohler asked if they can carry a shotgun and Commissioners Wirkner said there is a liability if they carry any kind of firearm. Wirkner suggested policies and procedures need to be established for call-out situations and other safety measures with non-lethal means of defense like pepper spray, batons and Tasers. Commissioner Lewis Mickley was directed to present a proposed policy regarding this issue at the June 3, 2019. Continuing in discussion, Ohler said he would want to have a shotgun at his disposal if he arrives at a location and is confronted with a vicious dog. Wirkner said that if that situation presented itself, a quick call to 911 would bring a deputy who does have a gun if needed. Wirkner said he will discuss these issues with Sheriff Dale Williams. Commissioners agreed to place GPS transponders in the dog warden trucks to be monitored by 911 dispatch. Larry Hawkins, Jr. met with commissioners to introduce himself and said he is interested in serving on the airport board.

Hawkins said he has a degree in airport management and has worked at several airports and does know the ins and outs of basic airport management operations. Commissioners learned that Hawkins has an airplane at the county airport and has 30 years in aviation and is an IT Director for a multi-national company. He is now semi-retired and interested in serving the airport. Wirkner advised Hawkins that he needs to attend a meeting of the Airport Authority Board and meet the members because they can make a recommendation to the Board of Commissioners for the open seat on the board. Commissioners may take the recommendation of the Airport Authority under advisement or name someone else who is interested in the position. “I’d like to see resumes for both candidates,” stated Ohler. Wirkner asked Hawkins if he is not selected to serve on the airport board, would he still help at the airport and Hawkins enthusiastically said he would help the board because he wants to see the airport thrive. In other business, commissioners: - MET in executive session with Jeff Jakmides who said he wanted to address a matter of public concern. When Jakmides began making accusations against a county employee, commissioners quickly moved to go into executive session. No action was taken following the session. - AGREED to have electrical issues in the jail kitchen repaired at the request of Sheriff Dale Williams. - HIRED Donald R. Myers as Custodial Technician I at a rate of pay of $12 per hour. He will serve a 90 day probationary period. - WILL accept bids up to 9:30 a.m. on June 20 for the 2019 Deck Replacement Project. Specifications may be picked up at the Carroll County Engineer’s office. - LEARNED that Wirkner had discussed obtaining Frontier services for the sheriff’s office

building to increase their internet capability but the Frontier representative spoke as if this was a marketing opportunity and tried to force commissioners to commit to an additional five year contract. Wirkner advised the Frontier representative to cancel the request. - AGREED with the Board of Elections Director Amanda Tubaugh to hire someone for the office this fall due to the upcoming retirement of Vicki Reed. - ELEVATED Christopher Modranski to Interim Clerk Supervisor effective May 13, 2019. Commissioners also named Ron Nuzzolillo and Melissa Schaar to the position of Assistant Clerk I. Modranski will delegate duties to both clerks. - WILL accept bids up to 9:30 a.m. on Thursday, June 6, for the Bell Tower project. Specifications may be obtained from Builders Exchange or by contacting Christopher Modranski at the commissioner’s office. - AGREED to accept requests for proposals for Medical and prescription drug, dental, vision, term life insurance Flexible Spending Account, Dependent Care Account and other voluntary benefits up to 9:30 a.m. Thursday, June 27. - AGREED to accept a quote from Carroll Asphalt & Sales for $11,680 to repair and seal the parking lot at county transit. - SCHEDULED a public hearing for the Community Housing Impact and Preservation grants until 10 a.m. on Thursday, May 30. - ACCEPTED the request for proposal and qualification of Ohio Regional Development Corporation for 2019 Community Development Block Grant programs. - APPROVED a request for funds for $5,443 from the Ohio Development Services Agency for the 2018 Community Housing Impact & Preservation Grant. - RECEIVED the dog pound report with two impounded, three adopted out, one redeemed, none destroyed, no citations for no license and no citations for running at large.

Carroll County part of new Ohio Energy Corridor Carroll, Columbiana and Stark County Regional Transportation (RTIP) representatives traveled to Houston, Texas on a fact-finding educational trip. This trip also included meetings at Encino Energy’s corporate headquarters. Encino Energy recently acquired over 900,000 Ohio acres and over 900 wells from Chesapeake Energy in a historic $2 billion acquisition. With this recent acquisition, Encino Energy is now the largest acreage holder for oil and gas producing assets in Ohio. Their Utica headquarters is in Louisville, Ohio. The educational trip was to gather information to aid in the development of the tri-county region and encourage investment and job creation to maximize the potential for locally produced Utica Shale oil and natural gas coupled with the

close proximity to the Shell petrochemical plant, currently under construction in Western Pennsylvania and the emerging petrochemical manufacturing market. The Tri-County RTIP believes that the region has a strategic advantage to petrochemical manufacturers who are seeking to lower their transportation costs, which can be a significant factor impacting profitability and investment decisions. As a result of the meetings in Houston, it was determined that there is a need to develop a marketing campaign to promote the region as the “Ohio Energy Corridor” and emphasize the importance of an extended and improved US Route 30 to facilitate the transportation of petrochemicals processed at the Shell cracker facility as a short, low cost way to move valuable feedstock to new and existing

And my thanks to the committee members Dale & Laura Alexander, Brian Garland, Dave McNutt, Craig Mellon, Don Minor, Scott Cartwright, James & Deanna Schwindeman, James Tubaugh, Bruce & Mary Ann Killian, Mark Oboy, Jim Coy, Elizabeth Minor, Rebecca Minor and Tim Timberlake. Without your selfless donation of time and effort this banquet could not happen. Sincerely, Brad Luckey - Treasurer Editor’s Note: This is a response to an article written in the FPS earlier this month. Dear Mr. Wirkner, I recently read the articles in the Free Press Standard and Carroll County Messenger about the casket that was hit during construction of a water line along State Route 9 north of Carrollton. I descend from Cyrus Champer (1846-1938) who is buried at County Home Cemetery and it makes me absolutely sick to think the actions taken out by the County Home could potentially have disturbed the eternal rest of my or someone else’s ancestor. I find it a complete embarrassment in the way that the matter was handled and the way it was so easily brushed off. Everyone recognizes that the memorial marker that Mrs. McClester worked on was just an approximation on where the cemetery was located. This is supported by the newspaper articles of the time of the monument’s erection, as well as looking at the old plat maps for the county. So to conceive that any construction would be in the area is unfathomable, and then I found out that the water line is being put in because the area is being sold for development! I am a former township trustee and the most important question that I want to know is how the county commissioners legally in any way are associated with the cemetery. This is a public cemetery by your own comments, if quoted accurately, in the newspaper with the sheriff burying people, as well as county home residents being buried in the cemetery. Ohio Revised Code 517.10 shows that this should be a township trustee controlled and owned cemetery. Meaning that the township trustees of the township the cemetery is located in are the ones who control the cemetery and own the property. Also, this means that since the size and/or location of the cemetery is an unknown the trustees should have a control of the general area around the cemetery, and you, the county commissioners, should not have control nor should be attempting to develop the area. Nowhere in Ohio Revised Code 5155 is the county commissioners charged with running a cemetery for a county home. This to me is government overreach at its very best and a true sign that the county commissioners care more about development, the all mighty dollar, and ego than the sacred burial grounds of the people of the county. Sincerely, Robert Champer Carrollton

Submitted Photo

Tom Dillie, director of the Minerva Public Library (right), spoke to members of the Minerva Area Chamber of Commerce about the library’s history, future plans and its offerings during a recent business after-hours.

Minerva chamber members tour library On April 11, the Minerva Area Chamber of Commerce held its quarterly business after-hours event at the Minerva Public Library. Chamber members and their guests were given a tour by the library’s director, Tom Dillie, who shared the history of the library from its humble beginnings when it was located above City Hall to the most recent expansion and update in 2003. Guests were shown the elevator, part of the building’s original structure from 1978. Dillie explained how collections and exhibits are planned and sometimes moved to accommodate the public’s changing needs and answered questions about the library’s funding

and future updates. Janice Oneacre led the tour of the Youth Services Department, located on the lower level of the building. She explained the library’s Sensory SPOT and the creative opportunities it provides to help develop motor and problem-solving skills. Oneacre also told about Book Beginnings and Story Time, learning events conducted for children by library staff members. The Chamber provided vegetable and cheese trays and brownies for the guests, and the library provided two baskets filled with an assortment of paperback books, mugs and teas as door prizes. Winners of the baskets were Tim Tarbet and Emily Carlton.

“Great!” Korena Ferguson’s quick response when asked how business has been at Sunset Beach Tanning was accompanied by a smile followed by a rap on the window frame and “knock on wood.” Ferguson, who has since sold tanning salons she owned in Lisbon, Salem and Hartville, noted that Sunset Beach has nearly doubled in size, from six beds when it opened in 2008, to a total of 11 beds, including a stand-up booth and high-pressure beds. Ferguson explained that beds are available in three levels. Entry-level beds have 32 120watt bulbs and a maximum time of 15 minutes per tanning session. Intermediate level beds have 54 160-watt bulbs and offer face tanning. High-pressure beds have a total of 64 bulbs, 160 watts on the bottom and 500 watts on the top, offer face tanning and shoulder tanning, and are air-conditioned. A maximum time of 12 minutes per tanning session is permitted in intermediate and high-pressure beds. A wide variety of lotions, moisturizers and sunless tanning products are available. Tanning packages are available from $35 to $99 per month. “Happy Hour,” featuring discounts on tanning, is observed each day from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. All tanning services are walkin only; appointments are not scheduled.

Hi kids! Who thought a pond could be so much fun? These three kids did! Meet Matt, Katie, and Pablo. Matt and Katie are brother and sister, and Pablo is Matt’s best friend. However, the pond wasn’t always there. Someone had to build it. To find out about the rest of the story you’ll just have to read it! When I was a kid we had a lot of fun on a pond near my neighborhood in the winter. We had a blast ice skating on it. Also the surrounding woods were fun in the fall. In the spring and summer, I spent all my play time swimming and riding my bike! Maybe some of you recognize the illustrations in this book. Jim LaMarche also wrote and illustrated a book called “The Raft.” I liked it so much I bought a copy for myself! Since I am a big fan of the outdoors, I also like to read stories about it. What I liked about these

kids is the fact they found their pond something to enjoy for all seasons. They even made friends with the animals that lived in the area. Until next time, is there a pond in your area? Your friend, Sherry Sherry Kline Bolitho Children’s Book Title: Pond Written & Illustrated by: Jim LaMarche Publisher: A Paula Wiseman Book/Simon & Schuster Price: $17.99 Age group: 4-8 Available at the Carroll County District Library Jim LaMarche grew up in Wisconsin along the Milwaukee River.

You may even want to invite a friend or two to join you. Katie painted a dragonfly on something. Now what do you suppose it was? And why did she paint it? And why do you think the boys call her Miss Know-It-All Katie? Again, you’ll just have to read to find out! Do you think any of you out there are Mr. or Miss Know-It-All’s?

Carrollton First UMC honors graduates This Sunday we will be honoring our graduates at our church; high school graduates, as well as college graduates. Do you remember when you graduated from high school? As a former teacher of some 28 years, I have been a part of many high school graduations and a few college ones too. They all produce a product that is “spit shined and ready to dance” as one grandpa once told me about their grandkid. I am not so sure about that. What do our graduates, both high school and college, really know? Oh, I am sure they are full of knowledge and know great things about their personal interests. I am sure they know lots of fun-filled facts and some pretty useless ones as well. With all the technology today that exists in our classrooms and lecture halls, I am sure that they are well prepared for texting and gaming in the 21st century. But what I am the most concerned about is this: How prepared are our graduates to face the real world? - Do they have the skills to be able to persevere when faced with the challenges that life brings? - Are they financially literate when it comes to how to save money, balance their bankbook, use a credit card wisely, how to make major purchases, and be able to begin saving for their retirement? - Do they really understand the consequences that misuse of social media can bring? - Do they understand the real responsibilities that come with being a responsible citizen of the United States? - Do they understand the responsibilities they have when they start a family? - Do they understand the importance of getting and keeping a job? And I am sure you can add to the list of things they don’t teach you in school anymore. But with these questions I also wonder if they have been prepared spiritually as well. - Have they ever been to church except for a funeral or a wedding? - Do they know the spiritual, civic, and moral responsibilities that come from learning the Ten Commandments? - Do they understand what Jesus was telling the young lawyer from the Gospel of Luke: “You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind, ‘ and ‹ your neighbor as yourself.” Luke 10: 27 (NKJV) - Do they know who their neighbors are in the world today? Are they willing to be Good Samaritans? - Do they know that loving the world and its system will bring frustration, futility, and heartache as the Apostle John tells us in 1 John 2: 15-17 - And do they have a personal relationship with Jesus? (Romans 10: 9) Being a well-rounded functioning member of society requires more than just a job and living with someone. It requires the understanding of their role in their community, their families, and their spiritual community. We need to become more involved in our student’s education. It involves a commitment to their entire person and not just their intellect. Please pray for our graduates this week as they finish their last days at school and as they prepare for their future to lead us in our families, our civic life, and in our churches. They really are the future of our world. Pastor Chuck Wilson Carrollton Bible Chapel

Lest We Forget By CAPT. CHARLES PEARSON

U.S. Marine Corps, ret. Something baffling happened to the American men who were taken prisoners of war in the Korean conflict. It baffled his Service, the Department of Defense, and our Nation as well. During all wars prior to the Korean Conflict, most American POWs were put through a terrible ordeal. Prisoners were flogged and tortured. In the Pacific after WWII, Americans found graves of American POWs who had been beheaded and the bodies of other POWs who had been drenched with gasoline and burned alive. In the Bataan Death March our troops endured one of the most excruciating ordeals of the war. The troops were fortunate if they reached a prison camp alive. Then they were kept under heavy guard, but still some managed to escape. During the Korean Conflict, some of the prison camps had only four guards for every one hundred prisoners. Those prison camps were enclosed by two strands of barbed wire and not one POW escaped from those camps. How did this happen? The first ordeal the Korean Conflict POWs had to suffer, and often the worst, was the march to the POW camps. Their hands were tied behind their backs or their arms bound with wire. The wounded prisoners were jammed into open trucks that jolted, dripping blood, along broken roads. Most received no medical attention until they reached camp, and then some were not attended to till many days later. During the march the prisoners were likely to be beaten or kicked to their feet if they fell. Many of the Communist officers carried bullwhips that they used freely. So the journeys to prison camps were “Death Marches” for many. On one march, 700 men headed north

but only 200 reached camp. When reaching a temporary camp they were given a welcoming speech and then each one was interrogated by a Chinese who had received their college education in an American college and spoke better English then some of our own young prisoners. They were given forms to fill out and sign that had false headings such as “International Red Cross.” After their briefings and their forms were studied, they were tagged. Then they were sent to permanent camps or for another round of questioning. How they were tagged determined what camp they would be sent to. All suspected leaders were separated from the others and sent to what was labeled “Bad” camps. They were put in solitaire and tortured. Those POWs were known to lose 50 pounds in a matter of weeks. All the rest were sent to “Good” camps such as was described in paragraph two. Those whom they labeled as leaders did not necessarily go by rank. One of the main criterion they considered as a leader was those who had a strong Christian Faith. Not one Chaplain who was captured came back alive. It was in those “Good” camps where they accomplished their so-called “Brain Washing.” How they went about that is a long story, but to a frightened, confused and hungry prisoner, deprived of leadership and guidance, those initial steps by the Communist enemy were effective. They used the carrotand-stick method of controlling the POWs. When the carrot failed, they relied on three sticks – repetition, harassment, and humiliation. Please keep all of our military personnel and their families in your prayers. Especially our POWs and MIAs. Charles Pearson is the chaplain for the Malvern Legion Post 375 and Carrollton VFW Post 3301.

House for Sale

Get rid of your unwanted items, declutter your house and make some money! It’s a win-win-win with 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.

By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent Superintendent of Schools Dr. Dave Quattrochi told board members that he has met with High School Principal Ed Davis and Assistant Principal Caleb Crowl and the Carroll County Juvenile Court to improve punishment and consequences for misbehavior in classrooms. “It really bothers me that students who get suspended out of school miss important instructional time. Do students need disciplined? Absolutely, yes! But what can we do as a school district to ensure these students’ academic, social and behavior needs are met? Suspending students out of school means that schools pass up the teachable moment when they cannot connect with students,” said Quattrochi. Quattrochi is proposing an alternative behavior classroom. It will serve grades 6 through 12 but will be a more structured classroom that addresses multiple student issues. He said this approach will get them back into the classroom faster and help them to stay there. “We will be working with Community Mental Health, Probation Officers, and Juvenile Judge Campbell,” continued Quattrochi. The plan is to place the classroom in the meeting room at the POWER building and will have the appropriate staff that is needed. The program will be called PASS, which stands for Positive Alternative to School Suspension. “It is important to reiterate the importance of keeping students off the streets and have them educated while being disciplined, not punished,” stated Quattrochi. There are still details to be worked out such as how many times is a student permitted in the new program before additional measures are taken and more. In other business the board: - APPROVED the list of graduates for 2019 as recommended by Principal Dave Davis. - SIGNED a contract with Shook Touchstone, LLC and Lesko Architects for the salvage of Bell-Herron gymnasium. - AGREED to waive competi-

Visitors got to pet goats at the Southern Local FFA’s petting zoo during the district showcase.

SL hosts district showcase

Southern Local Schools opened the doors for another successful District Showcase March 21. Hundreds of people, including students and family members, gathered for the 12th annual event and viewed displays, informational booths and performances. About 24 organizations provided information and activities in the high school gym, including ADAPT Coalition, Family Recovery Center, Southern Local High School HPAC, Columbiana County Emergency Management Agency/ARES, Crisis Response Team, Columbiana County Department of Job and Family Services, Head Start, Help Me Grow, Wellsville Elks, the county Board of Developmental Disabilities, Columbiana County Educational Service Center, Opportunities for Ohioans with Disabilities, Family and Children First Council and Red Zone. A health fair was also held on site with participation from the East Liverpool Health Department, Community Action Agency in Lisbon, East Liverpool City Hospital, Ohio Valley College of Tech-

nology, Southern Local school nurse Heidi McIntosh, Mercy Health Dental Van, Psycare, Akron Children’s Hospital, East Liverpool City Health Nurse and Vibra Healthcare. In addition, the public could view student artworks and enjoy the SLHS FFA petting zoo. The high school cafeteria was the scene of student performances, including the high school chorus concert “Broadway and Beyond,” art awards and a preview of the spring musical “Disney’s The Lion King Jr.” Southern Local Elementary teacher Jim Reese also performed in a classroom while the high school football team held its pasta dinner moneymaker in the SLES cafeteria. The elementary gym was the scene of many raffles and other fundraisers for school and community organizations. Among those on hand were the SLHS cross country, baseball and softball teams, Highlandtown United Methodist Church, Salineville Assembly of God, Fourth-grade Indian Store, and the freshmen and sophomore classes. Meanwhile, the crowds got a

chance to peruse classroom displays and learn about projects students completed throughout the year while a book fair took place in the elementary school library. Organizer Laura Krulik, who serves as district special education coordinator, said it was another successful year for the showcase. “We were packed,” Krulik said. “We had a few new vendors such as the Wellsville Elks, Vibea Healthcare and Red Zone and the people like coming out,” she noted. “We had an excellent turnout,” added SLHS Principal Tony DelBoccio. “It’s great to talk to community members and listen to their thoughts.” SLES Principal Kristy Sampson echoed those sentiments. “It’s great to see the kids bring their parents in and show off the exciting things they are doing in the classroom.” For at least one attendant, it was like stepping back in time. “I taught here for 30 years,” said former educator Evelyn Thompson. “I have grandchildren here and have to come check up on them,” she said.
