Carroll County Fair remains cancelled Fair board reconsiders decision in light of state restrictions
By KIMBERLY LEWIS FPS Editor
The Carroll County Agricultural Society (Fair Board) spent two hours Tuesday, June 16, debating whether to change its decision to hold this year’s county fair or to stand firm on its June 2 decision to cancel the fair. A motion to rescind the June 2 cancellation failed due to a lack of votes. Following the meeting, the Fair Board issued the following statement: “After much time and consideration, the decision has been made to keep with the original decision made on June 2, 2020, to cancel the 2020 fair, In an effort to support the many junior fair
youth, an online and live auction will be held during the week of July 20, with the live auction on July 24. More information will be released on the auction in the near future. “Our fair board members have spent many restless nights taking into consideration every aspect of this decision. Board members love the fair. That’s why they spend the many countless hours and days that they do to make the fair happen every year. The board’s goal is to provide a safe and educational environment for not just the youth, but everyone in our county. As we have seen, Covid-19 numbers have increased as restrictions have been loosened with the Responsible Re-start Ohio. Educating is a huge part of our duties as board members. Right here is
a great life lesson. Life isn’t fair. Life is full of disappointment. We realize that our youth have spent hours and money preparing their projects. How you handle it right now, that is important. How are you going to let it define you? “This decision has weighed heavily on each board members’ heart, they do love the fair and want to ensure that they make a responsible decision that ensures the fair will be able to come back better next year, but they need your support. Membership or Exhibitor passes will still be sold this year. They are $30 and this money will be very important to the board as the income will help them make plans for next year. Membership also allows a county resident to run for the board and allows you to vote. You must be
DAR, Daughters of 1812 chapters dedicate markers honoring Magnolia area patriot Two lineage societies recognized a Magnolia settler and patriot for his service to our nation by placing two markers at the Isaac Miller Inn in Magnolia. A National Society Daughters of the American Revolution Historical Marker, along with a U. S. Daughters of 1812 Soldier Marker honoring Captain James Downing was placed at the Isaac Miller Inn at Magnolia. The Canton Chapter of the National Society of Daughters of the American Revolution and the Madison McKinley Daughters of 1812, in conjunction with the Magnolia Area Historical Society, made the markers possible. Historical society member Mark Wadsworth designed the stand, creating it especially for these markers. James Downing served as private in the Washington County, Pa., Militia. He earned his status as a patriot by signing the Oath Of Allegiance, paying the Pennsylvania Supply Tax, and suffering depredation during the Revolutionary War. James Downing was made captain in 1793 in Ohio County, Va. (now West Virginia) while serving under General Anthony Wayne. While scouting for Native Americans, Downing decided he would like to settle in this area and received many land grants. He, with his daughter and son-in-law Isaac Van Meter, became among the first settlers in the area about 1805. Downing returned for his wife and children and settled close by. The Canton Chapter placed the NSDAR Historical Marker recognizing Downing for his Revolutionary War service.

The June 16 order by the Ohio Department of Health allows county fairs to be held with rides and food vendors, but advised the board to “discourage the large gathering of people on the midway or on other parts of the fairgrounds. Where possible, the fair should provide one-way traffic in buildings or other areas, where doing so will help maintain social distancing.” The fair board would also be required to designate six-foot distances with signage, have hand sanitizer and sanitizing products available and post online whether a facility is open and to continue services by phone or remotely.

Conotton Valley BOE approves scaled down Rocket Center plans By JACQUIE HUMPHREY
Carrollton BOE prepares to sell Dellroy, Augusta properties By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent
a member of the society to do these things. Office hours will be posted for purchasing tickets, or you can mail a check to: Carroll Co. Ag. Society P.O. Box 263, Carrollton, OH 44615 and membership tickets will be mailed to you. As we all mover forward in this unchartered territory, let us remember to be kind. Judging is not up to you, think about that before you speak. There are always two sides to the story, make sure you find them out. Once spoken, it cannot be taken back.” The reason for the indecision is the State of Ohio has changed its restrictions regarding county fairs over the past two weeks, as well as offered financial assistance should a county fair or junior fair be held.
At the June 18 meeting of the Conotton Valley Board of Education a new bid package for the proposed Rocket Center was reviewed and approved. After approving a project total of $24,172,755 in March, the board had decided in April to scale down the project, due to financial concerns with the possible reduction in Rover tax funding and the undetermined economic impact of Covid-19. Declaring an urgent necessity and waiving competitive bidding, the board approved a new package in the amount of $18,849,345. The new plan has removed the swimming pools only. Superintendent Todd Herman says he expects ground to be broken for the project by July 6. In other discussion, Herman reported he had his staff are working aggressively to get a plan in place for the coming school year and that he will be meeting with the Carroll County Health Department soon. Herman said there are presently three possibilities of how school may roll out this fall. The first option is the students return to the classroom, keeping things as normal as possible, but adding required cleaning and safety measures. The second option may be a hybrid program where students would attend school four days per week, two of the days in the classroom and two in gymnasiums to work at their studies online with staff support. This would help alleviate some of the pressure for parents. The third option would be to have kids working 100 percent online, as they did for the balance of the 201920 school year. Herman said that although all schools are unsure at this time how requirements will be rolled out, he is determined that Conotton “will be prepared.” In other business, the board:
• APPROVED expenditures totaling $1,117,651.64 and learned the mutual fund balances were at $7,064,441.97 in Unified Bank and $1,054,392.76 in Star Ohio. The balance of the Star Construction fund was reported at $5,082,446.33 with $17,255,650.36 in the US Bank account. • APPROVED the resignation of Ashlee Slutz as a full-time bus driver, effective at the completion of her 2019-20 contract. • APPROVED the first reading of board policy updates. • APPROVED the employment of Don Hertler Jr. as an assistant athletic director, effective June 8 through Aug. 10, 2020, at a rate of $20 per hour, on an as needed basis. • APPROVED the non-renewal of all supplemental contracts for the 201920 school year, except for those still in progress, which will also be considered non-renewed at the culmination of each activity. • APPROVED supplemental contracts for the 2020-21 school year as follows: Kris Nign as JV football coach at a stipend of $3,018.48; Mike Palmer as assistant varsity football coach at a stipend of $3,018.48; Keith Imes as a volunteer varsity football coach; Rhett Peters as a volunteer varsity football coach; Matt Grezlik as a JH football coach at a stipend of $2,641.17; Grant Provance as a JH football coach at a stipend of $2,452.52; Adam Reardon as a volunteer JH football coach; Chelsey Edwards as HS cheerleading football and basketball coach at a stipend of $2,829.83 for each; Beth White as JH cheerleading coach for football and basketball at a stipend of $1,509.24 each; Debbie Gooding as varsity cross country coach at a stipend of $3,773.10; Carly Caldwell as JH volleyball coach at a stipend of $2,452.52; Stephanie O’Connor as a volunteer varsity golf coach; Kenny Moffat as assistant varsity boys basketball coach

Motorcyclist dies in two-vehicle crash The Canton Post of the Ohio State Highway Patrol is currently investigating a two-vehicle fatal crash, which occurred on Sunday, June 21, at approximately 9:26 p.m. on state Route 43 near milepost 10 in Canton Township, Stark County. According to the patrol, Robert Dorsey, 71, of Malvern, was traveling south on state Route 43 in a silver 2001 Chrysler Town and Country minivan. William D. Skelton, 50, of Clo-
ver, S.C., was operating a blue 2010 Harley Davidson Super glide motorcycle and was traveling north on state Route 43. Troopers report Skelton drove left of center, struck Dorsey’s minivan and was ejected from his motorcycle. He sustained fatal injuries and was pronounced deceased on scene by the Stark County Medical Examiner’s Office. Canton Township Fire and EMS assisted at the crash scene.
Appeals court refuses to reconsider judgement The Seventh District Court of Appeals has denied a motion and application of Gateway Royalty, LLC of Amarillo, TX, for the Appeals Court to reconsider their decision and judgment entry affirming the judgment of the Carroll County Common Pleas Court in a 2017 case against Chesapeake Exploration LLC of Cleveland. In a 3-page opinion and judgment entry filed June 22, Appeals Court Judges Gene Donofrio, Cheryl L. Waite and David A. D’Apolito concluded
the oil and gas leases of Chesapeake were clear and unambiguous and the Chesapeake defendants properly calculated the royalty payments based on the terms of the oil and gas leases. The appeal relates to a civil action filed Dec. 28, 2017, by Gateway, alleging underpayment of monthly royalties on 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.

committees are to meet to finalize the details of the junior fair sales auctions. During the June 16 meeting, the board agreed to hold a virtual and live auction. There will be no dairy baskets or perishable food items auctioned. The 4-H and youth participants are to notify the Junior Fair organizers whether they are participating in the auction by July. Several board members noted that some of the junior fair exhibitors have already sold their animals or are no longer feeding their animals to required diet for them to be “show” ready. A few board members speculated the initial 400-plus animals to be shown at the fair is now reduced by at least 25 percent. Although no knows for certain until they begin registering for the auction. In an effort to comply with the state’s continued social distancing requirement, the live auction will be held at the grandstand, which will allow bidders and the exhibitor’s family mem-
bers to spread out. The FPS will public the requirements once they are determined by the committees. During the board’s four-hour meeting, it held two hour-long executive sessions - the first for contracts and the second for personnel. No action was taken on either. The board also spent some time June 16 to discuss other events or activities to be held at the fairgrounds. The board authorized the Carroll County Farm Bureau to hold its annual meeting in September at the grandstand for a donation and approved the use of the fairgrounds for a drivethrough Back-to-School Extravaganza in August. A request to use the fairgrounds for a dog show was not approved pending more information. Members also considered, but made no decisions, holding fairfood events, tractor pulls, and motorcycle races in an effort to give area residents “something to do” this summer.

Lest We Forget By CAPT. CHARLES PEARSON
U.S. Marine Corps, ret. On Aug. 19, 1945, word was flashed from ChungKing that General Wainright, hero of Bataan and Corregidor, had been freed from the prison camp near Mukden with many of his comrades, including Major General George M. Parker Jr. and Lieutenant Colonel James P. S. Devereux, commander of the Marines in their heroic stand at Wake Island. At first slowly, but then at an ever increasing tempo, the prison camps began to yield their human wreckage. Of the more than 200,000 Allied men and women incarcerated by the enemy at least 50,000 had died in camps or been torpedoed on prison ships. Japan’s home islands held nearly 40,000 of the survivors; 2,500 more were in Korea and Manchuria, among whom were the highest captured officers; camps in China held 15,000 more, those in Indo-China, Thailand and Malaya numbered 50,000. There were 60,000 in the Netherlands East-Indies and thousands more on scattered islands of the Pacific. When General Wainwright emerged after 1,201 days as a prisoner he was a ghastly sight. He was always so thin that he earned the nickname “Skinny”. He presented the appearance of a yellow parchment spread over a cadaver. He was so weak when he greeted his liberators that his entire weight rested on a cane. At his side, ready to catch him if he should fall, were General Parker and Lieutenant General Sir Arthur E. Percival, British commander at Singapore who had surrendered to the Japanese
Thursday, June 25, 2020
General Yamashita. General Wainwright was deaf from the effects of the gunfire at Corregidor and the subsequent neglect and hardships in the numerous prison camps in which he had been held. The sufferings of the hero, who celebrated his sixty-second birthday four days after his liberation, were to be forgotten in a round of honors such as he had never dreamed. The vanquished had become the victors. It was not until Aug. 28 that he reached ChungKing and made his first statement. It was typical of the man that he should express his deep gratitude for the “forbearance and generosity greater than any in the experience of any other defeated commander” with which the American people had accepted his surrender at Corregidor. General MacArthur, in the first series of generous gestures embodying the feelings of the entire Allied world, invited General Wainwright and General Percival to go with him to Tokyo and witness the formal surrender of the Japanese in the Philippines from the once proud “Tiger of Malay,” General Yamashita. In celebration it is easy to forget the suffering of another, but we should never forget the atrocities enacted on our Prisoners of War. Those acts should be entrenched in our memories. Those memories should be passed on to our children, so they may draw from them the assistance they need to improve our world. I am proud to be associated with our local veteran’s organizations that fly the POW-MIA flag as a constant reminder of the sufferings endured by our POW’s. With God‘s help – let us never forget and learn from it.

Pastor’s Pen Fathers
Last Sunday was Father’s Day. Two thousand years after Jesus came, we’re used to thinking of God as father because Jesus refers to God as father frequently. What we might not know is that when Jesus does, it’s unusual for him to do so. You see, in the Bible of Jesus’ time, there are maybe three or so references to God as Father. Jesus calling God father is radical and revolutionary. In the Sermon on the Mount Jesus tells us because we are to be part of God’s family we need to be like our heavenly father. We are to show grace to those who don’t deserve it, love our enemies and treat others the way God would want us to. But perhaps most importantly, we belong. Many psychologists consider the number one human need is love and belonging; that being part of a community is something humans need to thrive. Our brokenness, or sin as the Bible calls our selfishness, keeps us apart from each other. We think that we do best when we’re looking out for ourselves. But we actually do best when we’re part of a community. There’s a reason humans form teams, groups, choirs, fraternal groups and the like. But in the final analysis, we’re looking for that true and central belonging that comes from knowing God and being a part of his family. Unlike human fathers, our heavenly father will never stop loving us - he already knows the worst about us and still he loves us. He will always seek out what is best for us regardless of what it might cost him. In fact, our best actions as humans are pale imitations of the acts of love bestowed on us by our heavenly father. And that’s the good news. We’re all invited to come home to our truest family, where everyone belongs. Pastor Tim Dyck First Presbyterian Church, Carrollton

Community Hospice cancels its garage sale, Dover store accepting donations The Community Hospice Giant Garage Sale has been one of the highlights of summer in Tuscarawas County for more than 20 years. Unfortunately, like it has so many other events, the coronavirus pandemic has forced the organization to cancel the 2020 sale. The garage sale has been a community staple since the 1990s. Each year the sale raises about $50,000 annually and requires about 3,000 hours of volunteer time. The good news is that Com-
munity Hospice operates Browse and Buy stores in Dover, Uhrichsville and Carrollton that have accepted donations and offered great bargains every week. The stores were closed in March to ensure the health of the staff and volunteers who operate them as well as the shoppers who patronize the shops. Now that the state is easing restrictions, part of the Dover store has re-opened Mondays through Saturday from 10 a.m. – 3 p.m. Non-clothing dona-

Roxy Theatre to present ‘Sound of Music’ Saturday The Minerva Area Chamber of Commerce’s Roxy Theatre will show “The Sound of Music,” rated G, on Saturday, June 27, at 7 p.m. This 1965 classic, starring Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer, tells the story of a young Austrian postulant in Salzburg, Austria, in 1938 who is sent to the villa of a retired naval officer and widower to be governess to his seven children. After bringing love and music
into the lives of the family, she marries the officer and, together with the children, finds a way to survive the loss of their homeland to the Nazis. In order to abide by the state’s guidelines, guests will be asked to sanitize their hands on entry, every other row will be closed, and each group of patrons must sit 6 feet away from other groups. It would help the Roxy to have an idea how many people to expect, so if you plan to attend,
please e-mail denise.freeland@ minervachamber.org with how many will be in your group. If necessary, a second showing could be added. Admission is $3 per person, and doors will open at 6:15 p.m. The Roxy Theater is located at 120 N. Market St. in Minerva’s historic downtown. For more information, contact the Minerva Chamber at 330-868-7979 or denise.freeland@minervachamber.org.

Carroll County 10-year-old wins IHRA Ironman at Dragway 42 Harper Hying helping to break barriers for local female racers WEST SALEM – A Minerva elementary student has won the coveted IHRA IRONMAN at Dragway 42. Harper Hying, 10, has been racing since she was just seven years old. Being from Minerva, with the lack of a junior raceway, she and her family have traveled 72 miles one way to Dragway 42 in West Salem, Ohio for competitive races. Harper recorded a second pass time of 12.509 at 52.71 miles per hour (MPH). “Being at the track every weekend, she fell in love with watching the junior dragsters since she was about 4,” her mother Jennifer Hying said. Harper defeated Nathan Coon from Elyria to win the 11.90 class for the day receiving an IRONMAN. Mrs. Hying says it’s a joy to watch her young daughter compete on the racetrack week in and week out against the boys. “It's amazing watching her race down the track because of her focus and determination watching her do what she loves and have fun,” she said. “It’s such a proud and rewarding moment.” Harper’s mom says there’s one word that describes her daughter’s success,

and that’s ‘dedication.’ “She spends hours at Dragway 42 on test and tune nights to work on her consistency, she spends countless hours with her hand-held practice tree working on her reaction times and time working on her car making sure it is in tip-top shape,” Jennifer Hying said. As a young racer, Harper’s goal has always been to win an IRONMAN. Now that she’s checked that goal off her list, her long-term career goal is to race Pro-Mod. One of the biggest barriers in women’s racing is Erica Enders. Harper says her inspiration is Enders. “She was the 1st girl to win a NHRA Wally in junior competition and she breaks the barrier for all racers.” Jennifer Hying says her daughter’s favorite part of racing is having fun and making memories. “She is like a different kid when she gets in her car. She is full of confidence and determination and her focus is undeniable,” she said. “She gets in there and has the time of her life.” Harper’s racing sponsors include: Broadway Iron and Metal, Mel's Towing, Hot Rod's Auto Body, St.Judes and The Healing Touch Massage and Wellness.
ODNR reminds Ohioans to swim safely this summer COLUMBUS, Ohio — The Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) Division of Parks and Watercraft is reminding Ohioans to stay alert and always practice safety first when swimming at public beaches this summer. “It’s important that all visitors understand the dangers of swimming in dark waters, especially for young children and inexperienced swimmers,” said ODNR Division of Parks and Watercraft Chief Glen Cobb. “Paying attention and
watching out for each other is one of the best ways to make sure everyone has a safe and fun time at the beach.” Most park swimming areas are designated “swim at your own risk” and do not have lifeguards on duty. The ODNR Division of Parks and Watercraft recommends that all visitors: Keep a close eye on young children and inexperienced swimmers while they are in the water. Swim only in designated areas at the beach and lake. Buoys mark safer swim
areas and swimming past these markers increases the risk for tragedy. Water conditions in lakes are often murky, and swimmers may not be able to determine how deep the water may be. Young and inexperienced swimmers should stay in shallower water. Use the buddy system—designate one member of your group to stay on the beach to keep watch on the others while they swim. Only use approved life jackets and vests for young children and
inexperienced swimmers; all other floatation devices, including inflatables, are strictly prohibited. Check water quality advisories at the Ohio Department of Health’s BeachGuard website (www.odh.ohio.gov/healthybeaches) before leaving for the beach. Pack all the necessities like cell phones, snacks and sunscreen, but leave the alcohol at home. Drinking alcoholic beverages and swimming do not mix. Take precautions to prevent the spread
of COVID-19. Stay home if you are sick, stay at least 6 feet away from others, avoid gathering in groups larger than 10, wash hands often with soap and water or sanitizer, and make sure all trash is disposed of properly. Remember to take regular breaks from swimming. ODNR’s Division of Parks and Watercraft manages several swimming beaches at state parks, including along Lake Erie. This year, state park pools are not open due to COVID-19.

Southern Local approves district’s five-year forecast The Southern Local Board of Education has approved the district’s five-year forecast, but the exact figures are unclear amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. With the state of Ohio calling for a $775 million cut in K-12 education because of the related lockdown, leaders are submitting preliminary numbers, but say they are very likely to change. The board approved its forecast during the regular May 12 meeting while officials said they will continue to operate the district with the utmost efficiency during this tenuous time. District Treasurer Greg Sabbato said the district experienced a 1.3-percent reduction this year to state foundation funding, or
slightly more than $110,000. Next year’s foundation funding cuts may be closer to 10 percent, which would be significant because that funding comprises a majority of the district’s operating revenue. Sabbato also expects a possible rise in real estate delinquencies because the lockdown impacted businesses and left many people unemployed and unable to contribute to the economy. Sabbato noted that the pandemic was worse than the housing crisis of 2003 that impacted banking and securities because the current situation affects every part of the economy, not just one sector. “Most of the revenue for the state of Ohio is sales and income taxes,” he said. “I hope

the worst is over and we can begin to see everyone’s lives normalize again,” he added. Sabbato expects the numbers to change so the district could gain a clearer picture as to what funding is available to operate in the foreseeable future. Until then, they have to stay the course and operate even more prudently. “My biggest message is that it is difficult to speculate, but we won’t know until we know. We will get through this next year. I think we need to get through this year efficiently so we can get back to normal,” Sabbato told the Board. He said the shutdown has saved some costs on utilities and bus fuel, but other expenses remain, such as employees’
wages and plenty of work is going on behind the scenes to see the district through the storm. Supt. Tom Cunningham agreed, saying leaders will be keeping a close eye on future purchases and want to acquire only what is necessary, but they also want to ensure students still get the education they deserve. “We’ve talked to all of our departments and administrators and are putting a hold on all purchases unless they are necessary. We are doing our due diligence from making sure we have better maintenance to mending uniforms. We are getting a firm grip on curriculum needs and making sure it’s something we are going to commit to,” Cunningham added, saying the district may also streamline busing

We will make more purchases for as long as we can and look at our old vision going forward with limited resources,” Cunningham stated. The district may not have concrete numbers until late summer or fall, but Cunningham said they are looking at the worst-case scenario while also trying to meet students’ needs. In related matters, the board approved the second reading of a resolution to implement a Fiscal Year 2021 contingency plan now and into the future. The plan includes guidelines to follow for the school year should the building remain shut down amid a disease epidemic or other causes. Under state law, schools must operate for a minimum of 910 hours for students in grades K-6 and 1,001 hours for those in grades 7-12. Southern Local is following Ohio House Bill 197, which was passed March 27 in response to the COVID-19
pandemic health emergency and permits boards to adopt a plan for online learning opportunities so students can make up an unlimited number of hours in lieu of attending on days the buildings were not open in compliance with orders issued by the state and local health boards. The measure includes providing online instruction and related services, including support for special education. Should circumstances warrant changes in the plan, it may be amended by the superintendent at any time. On a similar note, Cunningham said committees will be formed to accommodate students who may be hesitant to return to school once it reopens. “We’ll meet and form committees to be more proactive for students looking for an online alternative if they are nervous about coming back to school,” he said.

Carroll County Health Commissioner Dr. Wendy Gotschall reported to the Board of Health at the June 17 meeting that as of that date, there were 31 confirmed cases and six probable cases of COVID-19 in the county. She said 27 patients have recovered and three people have died. Gotschall said the department is currently monitoring 62 people who may have been exposed to a confirmed case of the virus. The health department receives deliveries of personal protective equipment each week, and has a supply of masks, gowns,
shields and gloves available for residents. The board was informed that the National Guard would begin testing and collecting specimens of employees at three long-term care facilities in the county on June 22. The health department’s staff meets regularly with law enforcement officials and the directors of long-term care facilities, and is assisting school officials with plans for reopening school in the fall. In other business, the health department: - RESUMED scheduling immunization appointments for children under the age of 5. - RECEIVED a $50,000 grant from the Ohio Department of Health for reproductive health
and wellness programs. - SCHEDULED the “Back to the Barn Glow Walk” for July 19-26. Events will include a “Virtual 5k,” in which participants will walk on their own and are encouraged to take “selfies” in front of a barn to post on the health department’s website. - ANNOUNCED the “Back to School Safety and Wellness Extravaganza” will be held at the Carroll County fairgrounds, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., on Saturday, Aug. 8. - STATED that masks are required in the health department building and will be provided to visitors and clients if necessary. - WILL HIRE a seasonal employee for the mosquito-control program at a pay rate of $10 per hour.
Census Bureau to begin in-person data collection The U.S. Census Bureau is ready to announce resumption of other operations in addition to the Update Leave operation and fingerprinting of new hires, which are already underway, in order to conduct a complete and accurate 2020 Census. Over 90 million households have responded to the 2020 Census, with over four in five
households doing so online. People can still respond on their own online, over the phone or by mail — all without having to meet a census taker. The Census Bureau has resumed the Update Enumerate operation through July 29. All census takers have been trained on social distancing protocols, and will be issued Person-
al Protective Equipment (PPE) and will follow local guidelines for their use. The Census Bureau will begin a soft launch to Nonresponse Followup. Starting in mid-July, six area census offices (ACOs) will begin the operation of interviewing households that have yet to respond to the 2020 Census. Aside
from ACOs that are part of the soft launch, all remaining ACOs will begin the Nonresponse Followup on Aug. 11 and conclude no later than Oct. 31. The Census Bureau will count people living in transitory locations in September. Between Sept. 3 and Sept. 28, census takers will count people staying at campgrounds, RV parks, ma-
rinas and hotels if they do not usually live elsewhere. The Census Bureau’s Mobile Questionnaire Assistance (MQA) program is being modified to reflect the current environment. The Census Bureau anticipates that MQA staff may be able to resume offering in-person questionnaire response assistance in
selected areas based on current health conditions. This program will also add to its portfolio of activities to include direct outreach efforts within the lowest responding neighborhoods throughout the nation. All Census Bureau staff involved in MQA will follow local guidelines with respect to PPE and social distancing.

Edison Schools plan more upgrades to two elementaries More upgrades are planned in the Edison Local School District after officials approved an estimated $6.4 million bid for its two elementary schools. During a special meeting June 5, the school board approved a contract with Grae-Con Construction of Steubenville to improve Stanton and John Gregg elementary schools with new windows, restrooms and HVAC systems. Supt. Bill Beattie said the $6,408,000 project is predicated upon the availability of materials. “We’re hoping to start mobilizing and begin construction
immediately, but the challenge becomes the availability of materials. Their issue is the chiller system [for the HVAC units] lead time is 22 weeks right how. We don’t know the status of the ventilation, but we hope the parts and pieces can be available and we can be underway this summer,” the Superintendant told the board. Beattie continued that new HVAC units, in addition to previously upgraded boilers, will help the buildings run more efficiently. Furthermore, the windows will be replaced and the restrooms, which are original to both buildings, will receive new flooring, fixtures and walls. Improvements are also target

He noted that Vasco of Massillon is undertaking the upgrade and most of the excavation has been completed, while work could wrap up by the end of August. Overall plans are to centralize school sports at the Richmond campus with the addition of baseball and softball fields, a multi-purpose athletic field and a new 1,500-seat gymnasium as well as a new parking lot. Expenses will be paid through the 2.1-mill emergency renewal levy approved by voters this fall, which would generate more than $1,049,000 annually over seven years.

Sherry’s Book Corner Hi Kids! Well, are you ready to learn about something new? This week we are going to investigate the moon! Did you know the moon is our closet neighbor in space? As the Earth travels around the sun, the moon travels around the Earth. The path that the moon takes is called an orbit. I have to say, when we explore our world together it makes learning fun! Last night we had a cool moon. It was the kind of moon you see when the cat flies over the moon! Do you know that saying? If not, look it up! The moon is our companion in space. We don’t go anywhere without it. Next time you have the chance, lay out beneath the moon and stars and just watch. Better yet, lay out your favorite blanket and ask your whole family to join in on the fun! Who knows, Sky watching may become one of your favorite hobbies! Something fun to remember that you read in

your last column, the sun is a star. The moon is not a star. The moon is more like Earth. It is made of rock and gets its heat and light from the hot glowing gases of the sun. Before I close, just another tidbit of information I just learned! Our Earth is almost four times bigger than the moon. It is almost 8,000 miles across! Until next time, have fun with your celestial adventures!
