Properties sold for $1 Townships purchase former elementary sites

By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent At the June 25 meeting, the Carrollton Schools Board of Education unanimously approved a resolution to sell two elementary buildings.

The Dellroy Elementary School property has been sold to Monroe Township for $1, and the Augusta Elementary School property has been sold to Augusta Township for $1.

“This is how it should be. These properties should go back to their community. At first, we were informed that we had to auction these properties. But further research showed that although the school board could not ‘give’ the properties to the township, they could sell them for only one dollar,” said Su-

perintendent Dr. David Quattrochi.

Quattrochi said it is frustrating that the two elementary buildings, as well as the Bell Herron Middle school building had to be destroyed and removed.

The two buildings were torn down during the summer of 2019.

“It is not what we wanted to happen.

We did not a have a say in the decision to remove the buildings. In order to receive the millions of dollars from the State Facilities Construction Commission to build a new school building, the state requires that we MUST demolish these buildings. We know the communities wanted these buildings to remain. They were part of their childhood, part of their life as they raised their own families and now perhaps grandchildren attended there. But we had no choice. The state required that they be torn down,” said

Quattrochi.

The board retained oil, gas and mineral rights on the Dellroy property, but not coal rights on two of the parcels.

The board retained all mineral rights on the Augusta property.

Monroe Township trustee Brian McIntire said that they haven’t decided how the property will be used. McIntire said that once the papers are signed and they know that it is legally the township’s property, they will consider ideas for how the property should be used.

Trustee Carl Mangun said that Augusta Township trustees have discussed numerous ideas and community members have offered quite a few suggestions, including continuing its use as a park.

Quattrochi expects the paperwork for the transfers to be concluded this week.

Thousands of enthusiasts gathered in Malvern for Flite Fest 2019 to fly their radio-controlled planes and drones. Pilots would “fight” other pilots during the event’s battles. The 2020 Flite Fest has been cancelled.

COVID concerns cancel fireworks, three festivals

By KIMBERLY LEWIS FPS Editor I have some bad news. You may want to sit down.

I know Saturday is the Fourth of July - Independence Day. A day of laughter, barbecues, gatherings with family and friends and then fireworks. While some may not like the loud bangs, everyone loves the colorful display in the sky, except maybe that horrible, contagious COVID-19 virus. That virus doesn’t like anything - not people, not fireworks, not festivals and not even hugs. Hugs - remember those when someone puts their arms around you, gives you a squeeze and makes everything seem better.

You may want to send out virtual hugs to those around you, because there will be no fireworks this weekend.

Atwood Lake Park’s has been cancelled, but the MWCD hopes to have fireworks later this summer should the state restrictions be lifted.

The Carroll County fireworks, sponsored by the Carrollton Eagles Auxiliary in conjunction with the Carroll County Park District, has been cancelled. With the state-mandated closure of the social club, members were unable to do any fundraising and the event must abide by the state’s prohibition of large gatherings.

Lake Mohawk’s fireworks has been currently postponed to Sept. 6.

The Alliance Fireworks at Silver Park, Tuscora Park’s fireworks and the Bergholz fireworks display have also been cancelled.

Take a deep breath. There’s more.

The ALIVE Festival, Flite Fest in Malvern and the Algonquin Mill Fall Festival have been cancelled for 2020.

ALIVE Festival Organizers of the ALIVE Festival

announced the 2020 festival has been cancelled and the event has been rescheduled for July 16-18, 2021 at Atwood Lake Park.

“Whether this was going to be your first time or you have attended Alive many times throughout the past 32 years, we know how special this time together is for Christian music fans around the US and abroad. With the world still greatly affected by COVID-19, we cannot risk the health and well-being of our fans, artists, staff, vendors, partners, and the surrounding communities,” ALIVE organizers stated.

The following artists have already confirmed they will perform at ALIVE 2021: Skillet, TobyMac, Switchfoot, Lecrae, Newsboys UNITED, Andy Mineo, Jordan Feliz, Ledger, Colton Dixon, KB, Mark Schultz, Micah Tyler, Hannah Kerr, Demon Hunter, Oh, Sleeper, Cochren & Co., Rachael Nemiroff, Mirours and Death Therapy.

As a special bonus for those who hold on to their 2020 Full Event Tickets, they will receive free admission to a new Alive Kickoff Concert on Thursday, July 15, 2021 featuring For King & Country and We The Kingdom.

Flite Fest Flite Fest 2020 would also have brought thousands of people to Malvern in July.

“With a lot of deliberation and thought, we have decided to cancel Flite Fest 2020,” organizers stated in an release to ticket-holders and fans.

“With the escalation of the Covid19 pandemic, we believe this difficult decision is necessary to keep the community, our employees and Flite Test safe for many years to come. Obviously many of you probably were expecting this with events, such as the Summer Olympics postponing a year, but we wanted to make an official announcement so people don’t have to wonder

anymore.

“Flite Fest is such a magical event and the opportunity to spend time with you all for a weekend is the highlight of our year. We know this is really sad and difficult news for a lot of you to hear and we are right there with you,” organizers stated.

“To our volunteers and wonderful people who help us with the event every single year, thank you! We know that people were already gearing up to help put on the event.

“We considered waiting longer to see how things would change before fully committing to cancelling the event, but we would prefer to look back and say we were too cautious then to say we’re too late with the decision. We know that people make travel arrangements, schedule vacation time and make financial commitments that are hard to undo.

“We want to be sensitive to that and make sure that everyone has as much time as possible so it’s as painless as possible to revise your plans.

“Although ‘social distancing’ is a term that is going to be with us for a while, proximity distancing is probably a more accurate term. It’s our goal to be more social than ever while online and interacting with you, our community in more ways than we ever have before.

We may not get to share a wonderful weekend together but we can connect, talk and be together online every single week and we plan to be there. We hope you will too.”

There will be smaller events being held during the summer at Flite Test’s airpark in Minerva. For details, see www.edgewaterairpark.com.

A well-known, all-inclusive sports complex in Carroll County is challenging the state of Ohio’s Covid-19 directives as a non-essential business.

A lawsuit was filed June 24 in Carroll County Common Pleas Court by LAH & Associates, LLC, doing business as Eastern Ohio Sports Complex, located at 8155 Dawn Road, Sherrodsville, against Lance Himes, in his official capacity as Interim Director of the Ohio Department of Health and the Carroll County Health District of 301 Moody Ave. SW, Carrollton.

A hearing on the plaintiff’s request for preliminary and permanent injunctions was set for July 1 before Carroll County Common Pleas Court Judge Michael V. Repella II. The plaintiff’s injunction request includes that a declaratory judgment be issued declaring unconstitutional Covid-19 directives preventing young athletes to participate in contact sports and Ohio businesses to provide services to these same young athletes.

The plaintiff is also requesting preliminary and permanent injunctions enjoining the Defendants and their officers, agents, servants, employees and attorneys, and those persons in active concert or participation with them who receive actual notice of the injunction, from engaging in any further official conduct that threatens, attempts to threaten, and/or actually interferes with the Plaintiff’s occupation and operation of its private property (the sports complex) despite their disfavored identity.

In the second count of the complaint, the plaintiffs seek a declaratory judgment that the closure and criminaliza-

tion of operations within the Covid-19 directives are unconstitutional.

Other Declaratory Requests Other declaratory requests sought by the plaintiff include: - That the Covid-19 directives preventing Ohio athletes from participating in contact sports are unlawful; - That the Covid-19 directives preventing Ohio businesses from providing services to Ohio athletes is unlawful; - To issue a temporary restraining order and a preliminary and permanent injunction prohibiting Defendants and Defendants’ agents from enforcing the mandate within the Covid-19 directives to prevent Ohio athletes from participating in contact sports and Ohio businesses from providing services to Ohio athletes who participate in contact sports; - To issue a temporary restraining order and a preliminary and permanent injunction prohibiting Defendants and Defendants’ agents from issuing penalties to Ohio athletes who participate in contact sports and Ohio businesses that provide services to Ohio athletes who participate in contact sports; - To award plaintiff its costs, actual damages, nominal damages and expenses in bringing this action, including, but not limited to reasonable attorney fees; - Costs incurred in prosecuting this action and any other appropriate relief that the Court deems just and equitable.

Center Twp. takes next step to remove junk cars

By GEORGETTE HUFF FPS Contributor For a brief period following Center Township trustee Rick McNinch’s conversation with the owner of over a dozen junk vehicles stored on an Ima Road property, it seemed as though the vehicles would be removed without further ado.

However, the removal process has stalled with three vehicles remaining on the property.

The trustees have approved a resolution outlining the steps that must be taken to remove the vehicles at the property owner’s expense, and at the June 23 meeting, agreed to notify the property owner by certified mail, that the vehicles must be removed within 14 days of signing for the letter.

A public notice outlining the procedure will be posted at the township hall.

The trustees discussed upcoming road work with road superintendent Zeph Casper and Tim Thompson, owner of Carroll Asphalt & Paving.

Casper and the trustees agreed that repairs and upgrades will be done on Fisherman Road once Kinder Morgan has finished a project there, and noted that the cost of repairs to Glory Road will be shared with Harrison Township. They briefly discussed construction of a pond that is underway on Mayham Road.

In other business, trustees: - APPROVED a proposal from Verizon to provide internet service at a cost of $39.99 per month.

At the June 9 meeting, trustee Mark Walters addressed questions about nepotism that had arisen at previous meetings by reading a letter from Prosecuting Attorney Steven Barnett, dated June 3, 2020, stating

that he had received “the Ohio Ethics Commission formal opinion … concluding that the board … may hire a fiscal officer’s brother as a seasonal employee provided the fiscal officer does not participate in any way or participate in the decision-making process involving the employee.”

Barnett’s letter continued, “… if the township has adopted a more restrictive personnel policy and procedure … that addresses this issue then you are advised to follow that policy accordingly; otherwise the Commission’s opinion is self-explanatory in the limits upon the Fiscal Officer.”

Later in that meeting, township resident Joe Berardinelli said he thought the township had a “law” dating from April, 2013, stating that because his wife was the township’s fiscal officer at that time, it would be nepotism if their son was hired as a seasonal worker.

McNinch, who was a trustee in 2013, stated that there was no “law” on the books, and at that time, the trustees had sought and received only the opinion of Donald Burns, the sitting prosecuting attorney, who felt that hiring Berardinelli’s son would be nepotism.

The board unanimously approved a motion to re-hire David Householder who has worked as a seasonal employee since 2005.

In other business, on June 9, the trustees: - APPROVED moving forward with alleviating a drainage issue on a Josh Lane property.

-INFORMED a former township resident that he will have to purchase cemetery lots at the out-of-township price.

- HEARD from a township resident that the condition of Westview Cemetery on Memorial Day was “disrespectful to the veterans.”

SPORTS from PG. 1 Carroll County Health Department has confirmed that Eastern Ohio Sports Complex can open safely and that the complex is willing to comply with safety regulations if permitted to open.

However, the Ohio Department of Health has allegedly criminalized and penalized contact sports, prohibiting Eastern Ohio Sports Complex from opening.

Thousands of Ohioans participate in camp activities every year and the Eastern Ohio Sports Complex is an important business to Carroll County, the complaint reads.

According to other sections of the complaint, the April 30 Director’s Stay Safe Ohio Order issued by the Ohio Department of Health was in effect until May 29 and did not permit the Eastern Ohio Sports Complex to open.

However, the Department of

Health issued a Director’s order May 22 permitting Ohio citizens to participate in non-contact sports and remained in effect until July 1.

On June 1, the Department of Health issued a Director’s order that permits Ohio citizens to attend residential camps. However, without injunctive relief, the Department of Health will not permit the Eastern Ohio Sports Complex to carry on its 50-year tradition of serving young athletes in the state of Ohio.

Also, without injunctive relief, the Department of Health will take over the role of parents in Ohio and prevent Ohio athletes from participating in the sports of their choosing.

History of Eastern Ohio Sports Complex According to the plaintiff’s complaint, the Eastern Ohio Sports Complex has been operating since 1969 for the building of sports fundamentals and

shaping the character of young Ohioans through team camps.

The Sports Complex is now on 140 acres and includes 10 indoor basketball/volleyball courts, 10 regulation-size football fields, air-conditioned dormitories, a cafeteria for meals and a variety of other buildings.

The complex’s lake, swimming pool and outdoor recreational areas are also available for use and are ideal to continue team-building activities after the day’s camp sessions conclude.

The complex in Orange Township is now owned and operated

by Larry Huggins, a former basketball player at The Ohio State University and younger brother of West Virginia University Basketball Coach Bob Huggins.

The 23-page complaint was filed by David A. Campbell and Donald G. Slezak of the Cleveland law firm of Lewis Brisbois Bisgard & Smith.

Residents urged to complete 2020 census

By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent Clerk Supervisor Christopher Modranski reported at the Carroll County Board of Commissioners’ meeting on June 25, that only 59 percent of county residents have returned their census surveys.

“This is very important. Every person living in this county needs to provide their information to the census bureau this year. This is how the county gets funding from the state and federal governments,” said

Modranski.

The census bureau gathers basic information such as name, gender, type of dwelling, origin, and the age of each person in the household. Questionnaires may be completed online, by telephone or by mail. Modranski said census workers soon would be going door to door.

Carroll County Health Department Director of Nursing Kelly Engelhart informed commissioners that as of June 25, the county had 44 confirmed cases of Covid-19, with 34 having recovered and three deaths.

Testing has been done on 310 residents, none of who have

tested positive for the virus.

Following an executive session to discuss pending or imminent litigation, the board authorized the county prosecutor to assert and pursue any claims the board may have to trust proceeds for the benefit of needy children in Carroll County arising out of the testamentary trust of the Marjorie Goldcamp, deceased, estate.

In other business, commissioners: - ANNOUNCED that Carroll County Transit will resume normal operating hours of 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. beginning Wednesday, July 1, 2020.

Guest Column Finding Your Ancestors

By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent, Historian & Professional Genealogist

County commissioners recently asked residents to please fill out and submit their 2020 census forms. These figures let the state and the federal governments know how many people we have living in our county.

Those figures determine how much our county receives in state and federal funding. It is very important. If you want roads and bridges fixed, if you want funding for parks, for the health department, for the sheriff’s office and every part of our county, please submit the forms.

It is only 12 questions. They simply want your name, your age and how many people live in your household.

The state and federal governments have conducted census recordings since 1790. The government did this every ten years.

All of these records are stored at the National Archives in Washington, D. C. and are also available on several genealogical websites. They are indexed and that helps you find your ancestors.

Every ten years, 1790, 1800, 1810, 1820, 1830, 1840, 1850, 1860, 1870, 1880, 1890, 1900, 1910, 1920, 1930 and 1940 have been made public.

From 1790 through 1840 they only recorded the name of the head of household and approximate ages for males and females living in the household. But they would also tell how many cows, horses, pigs or sheep you may own at the time.

Beginning in 1850, the census records began including more information. They identified all members of the household by name, age, where they were born, occupation, and included the approximate value of your property.

In 1860, 1870 and 1880 they began including more information. They recorded who was in school that year, where your parents were born, if you were a newlywed or if you were eligible to vote.

Sadly, due to a fire, only portions of the 1890 census remain.

Some state records survived but for the most part, you just skip past 1890.

In 1900, they added several questions. They asked if you were a veteran or a widow of a veteran, and asked for specifics of where and when you served.

In 1910 they added the question if you were a veteran of the Civil War or not.

In 1920, the question added was to record what your native language was.

In 1930 and 1940, they includ-

ed several more questions as to where you worked, what type of work you did and a few other minor items.

They continued recording the census in 1950 through 2010.

But the census records are not released for 70 years. You don’t have to worry about your neighbors seeing what information you sent to the census at least, not unless they are still alive and curious in the year 2090.

You have to be creative when searching for ancestors on the older census records. The census taker didn’t have to be highly educated in the 1800’s to get this job.

They knocked on the door, asked the questions, wrote down what they thought it was and that was it. They didn’t normally ask how to spell the name but wrote down what they thought it might be.

But they did record the name of the father, the mother, and each child in the household, as well as their ages, place of birth, if they were in school or working at a job. They also included anyone else in the household, such as mother-in-law or sibling.

The census taker for these old records did not necessarily go door to door. If it was getting near supper time and there were still four more farms out the road he was on, they were known to ask at that house who lived up the road and they were provided with guesses of names and ages.

The census taker for the later 1800’s in Carroll County did not have much of an education.

He could write the names John, Mary, James, Eliz – for Elizabeth – and a few more basic names.

But for 95% of the residents of Carroll County for this 40 year period, the census taker only put a first initial.

So if you find your great great grandfather Oliver Grimes, the record will show his name as head of household. But the rest of the names for the wife and children would simply be J, C, L, D, W and that’s all.

If you are hoping to connect your family member to an older census record, be patient if they happen to be in Carroll County.

There are other resources that you can use to identify the children in the household.

You can respond to the current census requests by sending in the mailing you received, by going online, or simply calling and giving them the information.

Census takers will begin going door to door very soon in Carroll County to record as many families as they can.

Remember, this count will be used to secure funding for the county for the upcoming years.

Do you part and register with the census.

CANCEL from PG. 1 mously at its June 24 meeting to cancel the Algonquin Mill Festival that had been scheduled for the second weekend in October.

It was to have been the 50th presentation of this annual event, which has been held every year since 1971.

The society’s officers and members have had ongoing discussions about what should be done about the festival. According to the society’s press release, “many of the festival’s partners in the Mill’s numerous features were contacted and asked for their opinions about the feasibility and safety of conducting this kind of enjoyable public gathering during the uncertainities caused by the current viral pandemic. All of these points of view were considered in the board’s decision to not hold the Mill Festival this year.”

It continued, “While Carroll County has had a relatively low incidence of coronavirus infections so far, the mill draws

visitors from all around Ohio and several other states. Some of these may be locations where the virus is possibly more prevalent. The density of the crowds the festival often attracts are similar to those types of gatherings that have recently been associated with increased reports of COVID-19 cases.

“Governor Mike DeWine’s ‘Ohio COVID-19 Responsible RestartOhio’ plan has mandator restrictions regarding large gatherings, food concessions, physical contact, sanitation, and campgrounds that could make holding the festival practically impossible.

“At the very least the plan would mandate changes to the way we have held the festival in the past. Attempting our event this year would be so fraught with unknowns as to be unwise, risky and not even much fun, which has always been the main reason for doing it. The McCook House Museum in Carrollton will also remain closed

for the rest of the season.

So for all those reasons, the decision was made to cancel the Mill Festival for 2020 and begin looking forward to having the 50th annual celebration on Oct. 8, 9 and 10, 2021,” it concluded.

When the FPS posted this announcement on Facebook, residents were wondering if the historical society would offer drive-thru sales of its famous sauerkraut and apple butter.

While that remains to be seen, all hope is not lost for some summer events - at least not yet.

Minerva Area Chamber of Commerce is still planning to hold its annual Oktoberfest on Sept. 26 in Municipal Park.

Also on Sept. 26, the SAVE22 Hike is scheduled to step off at the Vets Club. The event was postponed from May. The Carroll County Park District will hold dinner and music throughout the summer as part of its concert series. For details, see ccparkdistrict.org.

Local student places 2nd in Student Fishing League Summer Slam

Malvern junior Hunter Edwards holds three large mouth fish he caught that earned him a second-place finish at the StudentFishing League Summer Slam tournament.

MALVERN - Malvern student Hunter Edwards, along with the Chaddock brothers from Minerva, spend a lot of their free time on the water together, fishing competitively.

Edwards began fishing six years ago but didn’t start entering tournaments until two years ago.

Although competitive fishing isn’t a school sanctioned sport, Edwards still represents Malvern High School.

Edwards recently competed at the Student Fishing League (SFL) Summer Slam, where he placed second with a combined weight of 11.60 lbs. after reeling in three largemouth bass. The winner of the tournament finished with a weight of 12.03 lbs.

Edwards says his motivation to compete is the chance to always accomplish something new.

“I think what drives me to fish is the unknown,” Edwards said. “Another thing that drives me is to always get better or achieve something when I'm on the water fishing.”

He says that there is somewhat of a mystery to the game of fishing.

“Every time I'm on the water, different things happen and not knowing what is out there to be caught,” he said.

Edwards fishes all around Ohio,

wherever the tournaments are.

“I fish with my coach Clint Paulette,” Edwards said. “I fish wherever the tournaments are held.”

Only 16 years old and entering his junior year of high school, Edwards says some states have sanctioned high school fishing and it’d be a great step in the right direction if Ohio followed suit.

“It is a very popular sport in some high schools in the south,” he said. “It would be awesome if it would become popular up north.”

What does it take to be good?

Edwards says the more time on the water, the better.

“It takes a lot of time on the water to be good,” he said. “I study the water and if I can't go to the lake I'm fishing to practice, I try to go to a lake that fishes similar.”

Each tournament calls for a different type of bait.

“It depends on the lake and tournament on what baits I'm throwing,” he said.

Edwards has one scheduled tournament in August but any tournaments before then would be an open tournament.

He has drawn in one sponsor so far: Tall Tales Bait and Tackle.

Edison Local BOE reviews plans to reopen this fall Edison Local school board officials have reviewed plans in light of the COVID-19 lockdown and hope to proceed with reopening school doors in August.

The board discussed the matter during its June 25 regular session at Edison High School and is eyeing a traditional start for classes, barring any changes from the state level.

But officials are also looking at ways to help educate students remotely in the upcoming year and Supt. Bill Beattie said the goal is to be prepared for whatever looms on the horizon.

“As of right now, our plan is to come back in a traditional setting for five days a week, but we will prepare for any option moving forward,” Beattie said. “We’re going to use Google Classroom as a learning management system and Google Meets as a means for teachers to meet and communicate with kids,” he said.

Beattie also said surveys were mailed to district parents which are not due until July 10, but so far 63 percent of the 168 recent respondents support having their children back in the classroom.

Currently, Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine has given county health

departments and local school districts the lead in reopening plans and options range from traditional schooling to blended learning and a completely remote education online. In any case, Beattie said the Google systems will play a role in student learning.

“We want to see if any directives come from the governor, and if the plans are up to the local health department and school districts we will move forward accordingly. Our plan is to try to provide some professional development for teachers during August so we’re ready to be up and running on day one,” he added.

Further talks entailed how to utilize three school resource officers at the school buildings since services were affected by the lockdown. Beattie said the board discussed how to proceed if the district faces a similar situation in the future and schools close once again.

Meanwhile, the board was updated on projects continuing throughout the district. Beattie said a bid was approved for Playing Surface Solutions of Meadville, PA, to undertake the bulk excavation of the master facilities

‘Health alert’ issued for COVID-19 clusters identified at Lake Mohawk

in preparation for walkways, plaza areas, the grandstand relocation and a building entrance gate on the high school campus.

The project costs an estimated $1,014,000 for phase one, but phase two plans were put on hold regarding the addition of baseball and softball fields on campus.

Beattie explained there were financial constraints but leaders will decide how to proceed by the end of the year. When that phase proceeds, hopes are to have the ballfields ready for action in the spring of 2022, he explained.

Change orders were also approved with Vasco of Massillon for a concrete stabilization plan for unified athletics facilities at EHS, but officials learned that portion was not necessary and costs were reduced, saving the district an estimated $110,000.

Beattie added that costs for work at Stanton and John Gregg Elementary were more than $400,000 over the district’s allotted $6 million budget and the contract was reviewed again to eliminate the overrun. Those

Carroll County Health Commissioner Dr. Wendy Gotschall issued a health alert June 29 for Lake Mohawk residents after the health district “identified clusters of cases of COVID-19 within the Lake Mohawk community.”

In her letter to the Lake Mohawk Property Owners Association, Gotschall said, “Recently, we have seen an increase in cases where individuals were exposed during travel or when congregating in groups composed of multiple families, such as camping, bonfires, cookouts, and parties.”

The county health district reported nine confirmed cases and two probable cases in Brown Township as of Monday.

Gotschall reminded residents that when celebrating Independence Day this weekend: • Maintain social distancing of 6 ft. between each person/car; • Encourage individuals to wear cloth masks; • Refrain from sharing any common items; • Provide soap and water or hand sanitizer; and • Ramp up environmental cleaning before and after festivities especially to high-touch surfaces.”

To prevent the spread of infec-

tion further, she suggests people review the following safety measures to protect themselves and others from contracting the COVID-19 virus: • Put distance between yourself and other people outside of your home.

• Remember that some people without symptoms may be able to spread the virus.

• Stay at least 6 feet (about 2 arms’ length) from other people.

Keeping distance from others is especially important for people who are at higher risk of getting very sick.

• Cover your mouth and nose with a cloth face cover when around others. You could spread COVID-19 to others even if you do not feel sick. Cloth face cov-

erings should not be placed on young children under age 2, anyone who has trouble breathing, or is unconscious, incapacitated or otherwise unable to remove the mask without assistance.

• The cloth face cover is meant to protect other people in case you are infected and does not substitute for social distancing.

• Avoid touching your mouth, eyes, or nose.

• Wash your hands frequently with soap and warm water for 20 seconds or use an hand sanitizer.

• Monitor your health for symptoms, including fever, cough, shortness of breath, diarrhea, new loss of taste or smell or fatigue.

• The best way to prevent illness is to avoid being exposed.

Southern Local teacher provides creative way for students to learn Seeing but Not Observing Have you ever broken a bone? I wrote this article with one foot propped up after breaking my ankle last fall. Not until that experience did I realize how much a broken bone could interrupt my daily routine. The first time I went to put on a pair of pants, my brain wanted to follow old patterns of putting the broken leg down to step into my jeans. Fortunately, my body sent an overriding message that threatened my brain, “don’t even think about putting weight on that foot.”

This was just the beginning of experiencing and observing things in a new way. Did you know that screen doors were a device to finish off the wounded? I thought mine truly wanted to eat me and my crutches. What about the stairs! We are blessed with a beautiful old home with super high ceilings. Being 6’5”, I love that I can walk under lights and ceiling fans without hitting my head.

But, this means lots of steps, 16 between floors, not to mention the landing, a turn, and the short section that does not have any handrail. Oh, and that little four-inch high lip to get into the shower that you may have never paid attention to before - petrifying! These are some of the details I had never noticed before my injury. In so many ways, my inability created a heightened awareness.

In “The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes: A Scandal in Bohemia”, there is a conversation that takes place between the famous detective duo, Holmes and Watson. Watson believes he could solve every case that Holmes solves, once Sherlock unveils the clues, that is. He confesses he was always baffled by the mystery, but once Holmes presents the evidence it seems so clear. Watson continues to note that his eyesight is just as good as Holmes’ and wonders why he can not see that which Holmes sees. To which Holmes replies, “You see, but you do not observe.” To make his point, Sherlock asks Watson how many times he has seen their front steps.

“Some hundreds of times” claims Watson.

“Then how many [steps] are there,” asks Holmes.

When Watson could not answer, Holmes makes his point, “...You have not observed, yet you have seen.”

In Matthew 13 the disciples ask Jesus why He speaks in parables.

Jesus replies in verse 13, “Though seeing, they do not see; though hearing, they do not hear or understand.” I am so thankful that Jesus endeavors to reveal to us His truth as Sherlock Holmes does for Watson, making the hidden things simple. And maybe as we follow after Christ, he will give us eyes that do not merely see but that also observe?

Are you going through anything through which you are developing a new sense of awareness of His presence in your life and His truth in your life?

The ongoing quarantine had many teachers in the Southern Local School District adjusting to online instruction with students - and Southern Local Elementary educator Ashley Farnsworth’s experience was no different.

But Farnsworth, who leads second-to-fourth-graders with multiple disabilities, looked to not only develop the students’ learning skills but also the ability to be civic-minded.

This marked the first time in years that such a classroom has been available for special needs students and she wanted to show exactly what they could do.

Farnsworth created a series of projects throughout the year to benefit school and community members while her pupils finished a few fun activities for themselves. One assignment was the publication of an original book about animals through Kansas-based Studentreasures Publishing.

Each pupil researched and wrote facts about a particular creature and illustrated the stories with help from Farnsworth and her school aides. They have also conducted a classroom science fair and Farnsworth hopes to hold another one next year and show exhibits at the 2021 District Showcase since this year’s event was canceled due to the pandemic.

“When we are in the typical school building, they get extremely excited about the projects. They love coming up with ideas for our kindness project,” she said. “The looks on their faces when they pass out the crafts is priceless,” she added.

But Farnsworth is proudest of the civic work done by her group, which she dubs the Kindness Crew, and tries to keep them active while they are at home. She hosted a class talent show on the Zoom videoconferencing program and students showcaseed their skills

during the last week of the school term.

She also was reviewing ideas for a directed drawing class, a possible scavenger hunt or bingo game and guest readers to provide something fun and interactive. Farnsworth said she not only teaches kids lessons on school topics, but also how to be kind and compassionate individuals.

“I think the biggest reason I started the Kindness Crew is because I wanted the staff and students who don’t have the opportunity to visit our classroom to see that we are more than the behaviors that are often seen outside the classroom,” she said.

“I wanted our students to be seen for who they are - simply kids who want to be loved and accepted. I wanted folks to be able to see the big hearts they have, regardless of the hard days we have.

On the flipside, I also wanted the students to be able to practice using skills such as initiating conversations appropriately and using manners. I wanted them to experience how it feels to do something kind for someone even if you don’t get anything physical in return. They also have the opportunity to practice fine motor skills such as handwriting and cutting,” she said.

Farnsworth has received feedback from several of her fellow teachers about the class’s kindness projects.

Lest We Forget

By CAPT. CHARLES PEARSON

U.S. Marine Corps, ret.

During the Inchon Invasion of the Korean War, Marine Lieutenant Baldomoro Lopez, a 25-year-old Hispanic-American Annapolis graduate from Tampa, Florida, led the Third Rifle Platoon over the seawall and forward against North Korean defensive positions.

His platoon’s main objective was Cemetery Hill, one of three high points around Seoul that were considered priority targets.

His fellow Marines came under heavy machine gun fire injuring many.

Lopez spotted the North Korean machine gun bunker that had his men zeroed in. Lopez called for covering fire as he crawled forward until he was within throwing range of the bunker. He primed a grenade and rose from cover to throw it inside the bunker. Instantly he was struck in the arm and shoulder by machine gun fire.

Lopez lost his grip on the grenade - seconds went by and his arm would not function.

Though wounded, he searched for the grenade, shouted a warning to his men and smothered the blast with his body.

Baldomoro Lopez was awarded the first Medal of Honor for

action in Korea. His award was posthumous.

Eleven Marines would receive a posthumous Medal of Honor for smothering grenades to save their comrades during the Korean War: Private First Class William Bernard Baugh of McKinley, Kentucky; Corporal Jack Arden Davenport of Kansas City, Missouri; Corporal Duane Edgar Dewey of Grand Rapids, Michigan; Private First Class Fernando Luis Gracia of Utuado, Puerto Rico; Private First Class Edward Gomez of Omaha, Nebraska; Private First Class Herbert A. Littleton of Mena, Arkansas; Private First Class Whitt Lloyd Moreland of Waco, Texas; Second Lieutenant Robert Dale Reem of Lancaster, Pennsylvania; Private First Class Robert Earnest Simanek of Detroit, Michigan, and Second Lieutenant Sherrod Emerson Skinner Jr. of Hartford, Connecticut.

There is no greater love that one can show for his fellowman than to sacrifice his own for them. Even though self-preservation is the first law of nature, all of these men acted to the highest rule of grace – self-sacrifice for his fellowman. 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.

Students in Ashley Farnsworth’s class learned to be civic minded as well as their normal studies during the quarantine. A few of Farnsworth’s students are seen above in the classroom before the quarantine.

“In my classroom, I typically have at least two different lessons going on at once, but sometimes it can be three or four. Now, I simply schedule the kids for one hour beginning at 9 a.m. so I have time to give individualized lessons to each kid without feeling rushed, and then I have a few minutes to take a quick break before the next session begins. The idea of asking [Zwick and Pitt] to join me provides some sense of normalcy for the students since they were used to seeing all three of us every day,� Farnsworth said.

Zoom lessons were conducted on weekdays with the exception of Tuesday, which is when Farnsworth assisted in the packing and delivering of meals for the school’s weekly food program.

The students also had time to complete therapy sessions and on Fridays she hosted a “Farnsworth Crew Zoom Hangout� session for students and staff to congregate.

Farnsworth said there have been some challenges to teach the special needs students on-

line and she relies on some to be able to point to their answer choices rather than verbalize them. To that end, parental help has been essential, she explained.

Farnsworth noted that she prefers being in the classroom but everyone was trying to make the best of a very difficult situation. However, she is extremely proud of everything the students have accomplished so far. “I feel like I could go on for days about how proud I am of my kids and how hard they really are trying. I am thankful to have a great and supportive team to help us! I am holding high hopes that we have the opportunity to do more community interaction next school year. In the future, we have had talks about raising money to pay for some items we want or need for our classroom such as sensory items and field trips. We don’t have the details worked out, but it would be a great way to incorporate math and life skills into more relatable lessons,� Farnsworth stated.

EDISON from PG. 7 projects include updating windows and HVAC units, among other renovations.

In other matters, the board: - Employed Josh Haspel as computer technology teacher, Shannon Small as a Language Arts teacher, and Elizabeth Conley as the vocal music teacher, all three positions at Edison High School (EHS); - Entered into an agreement with the Columbiana County Educational Service Center for occupational therapy services; - Approved extended time for guidance counselors Sara McGee and Samanda Pepperling for 40 hours of extended time from June 1 to July 31, 2020; - Approved a contract with Trinity Health System for trainer services; - Contracted with the Jefferson County Board of Developmental Disabilities (JCBDD) for special education services; - Approved the treasurer’s reports and donations such as the

Dean Boring-Sarah Schaefer Scholarship for $200, the Mr. & Mrs. Bill Schaefer-Sarah Schaefer Scholarship for $800 and $228 from the East Springfield Jr. Women’s Club for EHS lunch accounts; - Approved a contract with BJAAM Environmental Services Inc. of Canal Fulton for environmental engineering services for ongoing monitoring and testing of 30 wells on the high school campus following a diesel fuel leak years ago which seeped into the ground; - Accepted a $3,000 grant from the Children’s Hunger Alliance of Ohio to help cover costs for the seamless summer feeding program; - Approved supplemental contracts for JoAnn Stagani as athletic director; Todd Smith as assistant athletic director; Shane O’Brien as head varsity football coach; Jason Fogle, Alfred Johnson, Mike Collopy, Greg Marsh and Nolan Marcus as assistant

football coaches; Josh Waggoner, Mark Pittman and Tyler Stagani, volunteer varsity football; Collin Skeeles, Byron Rufkin, Bruce Palmer and James Evans, junior high football; Shane O’Brien, elementary football; Kodi Peterson, varsity golf; Andy Lesnansky, varsity boys’ soccer; Jordan Tice, varsity girls’ soccer; Kim Judy, volunteer girls’ soccer; Todd Smith, varsity volleyball; Keely Drabick, assistant varsity volleyball; Holly Johns and Tonyea Roberts, volunteer varsity volleyball; Sarah Louda and Samanda Pepperling, junior high volleyball; Maddie Brown and Casey Mozingo, fall junior high cheerleading; Jamie Evans, EHS Yearbook, district annual report/ calendar and district website coordinator; Marc Sansone, EHS Band and extended band time; and Bev Sansone and David Schultz, EHS Band assistants; - Set the next meeting for July 23 at 6 p.m. at Stanton elementary school in Hammondsville.

dents made her for the school’s “Be a Heart Hero� theme day. “The biggest feedback we get from the community is during our Veteran’s Day assembly. Some people saw our Veteran Wall that had pictures of those who either went to Southern Local or are connected to the Southern Local family,� she continued. “They thanked us for our time and effort and also enjoyed the paper chain flag we created. The community hasn’t really had a chance to interact with our classroom because this was the first time we have operated as a multiple disabilities classroom in years, and unfortunately the annual District Showcase had to be canceled.�

She said the current method of education included some challenges but she altered her methods to ensure the children learn. “The students were very reluctant to do schoolwork in the typical sense. I read somewhere that we were not homeschooling, we were crisis teaching, and I am a firm believer of that. Students are scared and worried about the world around them; they don’t understand why they can’t go to each other’s houses.

Recently, two of them saw each other outside and their moms had to explain that they couldn’t play right now, but that they could play ‘one day.’ The projects we do, such as story time and the Zoom Hangout, give them a distraction from all the scary things and allow them to just be a kid,� Farnsworth added. “Since we were learning from home, I read bedtime stories to them most nights of the week. This was usually done through Facebook Live in our classroom group or on Zoom.

The stories were either read aloud by myself or I chose a story from ‘StorylineOnline’ and shareed my screen with them.�

She said the pupils have handled remote learning much better than she expected and enjoy Zoom interaction and listening to the stories she read. Farnsworth also altered her normal “office hours� to accommodate individualized student lessons and was often joined in Zoom lessons by aide Melissa Zwick and paraprofessional Lisa Pitts.
